The squad will depart for Pakistan on October 4, with the T20Is scheduled for October 9, 11, and 13 in Rawalpindi. The series comes at the start of a packed assignment, with the team set to play an ODI tri-series involving England before facing Pakistan in two Tests in November.
Kamil Mishara, Sineth Jayawardena, Lahiru Udara, and Sahan Arachchige are among the players included in the revamped group. Kamindu Mendis and Dasun Shanaka add international experience, while Chamindu Wickramasinghe and Dunith Wellalage provide further all-round options.
Dushmantha Chameera is also part of the squad, but he will need to prove his fitness before taking part in the series. His availability could add valuable experience to the bowling attack.
