The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) confirms that Saim Ayub has been released from the Men’s ODI squad for the remainder of the ongoing tri-series.
After a conversation with the head coach, Saim requested a desire to return to domestic cricket to work on his batting form and regain confidence.
Respecting Saim’s decision and appreciating his honest assessment of his current form, the team management and national selection committee have mutually agreed to accept this request.
The national selection committee has subsequently named Sahibzada Farhan as Saim’s replacement for the remainder of the tri-series.
Pakistan having qualified for the final with three consecutive wins, will face Sri Lanka in the fifth match of the tri-series at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on Tuesday, 27 October.
