Pakistan would like to get off to a strong start in the three-match T20I series against South Africa after losing the second Test against the same opposition in Rawalpindi, the venue which is going to host the first T20I as well.
Another major change in the T20I squad is the absence of senior batter Fakhar Zaman, who, although he isn't a part of the squad for this particular series but finds his name in the list of reserve players.
Usman's opening partner, Sahibzada Farhan, who showed good form in the Asia Cup, would also want to continue his good run in this format
Middle-order batsmen and all-rounders: Babar Azam, Saim Ayub, Salman Agha (c), Hasan Nawaz, Mohammad Nawaz
Their middle order has three experienced players in the form of Babar Azam, captain Salman Ali Agha, and Mohammad Nawaz, all of whom will have to take the responsibility and guide the team to a match-winning total while batting first.
It would be interesting to see what the Men in Green decide to go with in the first T20I, as they have preferred depth in the batting department in the recent past.
A couple of names that in all likelihood will feature in Pakistan's bowling lineup for the series opener include newly appointed ODI captain Shaheen Afridi and Mohammad Nawaz.
As far as the spin bowling department is concerned, it will comprise Abrar Ahmed as the second spinner, along with Saim Ayub and Salman Ali Agha, also rolling their arm over if required.
