The Pakistan Cricket Board had put a hold on the training camp and announcement of the squad for the Afghanistan series. The PCB is seeking confirmation from the Afghanistan Cricket Board for the fixtures that are slated to take place in Sri Lanka.
“Once they give us the complete series travel plans and itinerary we will have the camp and also release our squad,” the PCB has said.
Afghanistan is facing its worst crisis in the last two decades after the Taliban took over the reigns but the ACB is in talks with the authorities and US troops who are controlling the flights in and out of Kabul.
Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) CEO, Hamid Shinwari, has said that the team will play the three-match ODI series.
"Cricket is doing very well. We are going to the office of the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB). The cricket team is preparing for the Pakistan series in Sri Lanka. It is confirmed. We are committed to sending a team to Sri Lanka as soon as possible," said Shinwari to ESPNcricinfo.
If the series goes ahead as planned, Pakistan would be resting some of its key players which include the likes of Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan and pacers, Hasan Ali and Shaheen Shah Afridi.
