NZ vs PAK ODI / Pakistan's team changed before the ODI series, this player suddenly entered the squad

NZ vs PAK ODI: The Pakistani cricket team is currently on a tour of New Zealand, where it played a five-match T20 series, but lost 1-4. Now the team's eyes are set on the upcoming three-match ODI series, in which it will try to perform better. The ODI team includes experienced players like Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, which shows the strength of the team.

Haris Rauf returns to ODI team

Before the start of the ODI series, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has taken a big decision and included fast bowler Haris Rauf in the squad. Initially he was not a part of the ODI team, but in view of his excellent performance in the T20 series, he has been recalled to the team. In the T20 series, he took the most seven wickets for Pakistan and impressed with his bowling.

According to a PCB source, selector Aaqib Javed has also recommended the inclusion of an additional wicketkeeper-batsman in the ODI squad to improve the balance of the team.

Rauf's excellent record on foreign soil

Haris Rauf's domestic ODI performance may not have been that impressive, but he has been seen on foreign pitches. Earlier, he took 10 wickets in the ODI series against Australia and played an important role in helping Pakistan clean sweep 3-0. His experience and speed will strengthen Pakistan's bowling attack.

Glimpses of international career

Haris Rauf made his ODI debut for Pakistan in 2020 and has since taken 85 wickets in 48 ODIs. He has 118 wickets to his name in T20 Internationals, while he has one wicket to his credit in Test cricket.

ODI series schedule:

• First ODI – March 29, Napier
• Second ODI – April 2, Hamilton
• Third ODI – April 5, Mount Maunganui

The Pakistani team will try to end the tour on a high note by winning this ODI series. Led by Babar Azam, the team will have to take the field with a balanced combination, while Haris Rauf is once again expected to give a strong performance.
