Post that, they will travel to the Caribbean for five T20Is and two Test matches against the West Indies. The Pakistan selector committee has selected a few experienced players for the upcoming clashes and several uncapped players as well. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has announced the squad for both tours on Friday.
