The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced a 16-member squad for the upcoming two-Test match series against New Zealand at home.
The national selection committee has once again ignored the left-arm fast bowler, Mir Hamza, for selection, sharing plenty of debate in the cricket fraternity

Because Shaheen Shah and Haris Rauf, are out of the national squad due to injuries sustained in the T20 World Cup 2022 final and the England series, Hamza definitely deserved a chance.
Furthermore, the management has returned to Hasan Ali and has also included Naseem Shah, who has recovered from an injury sustained in the first Test.
Pakistan recently lost a three-match Test series to England at home, almost ending its chances for the ICC Test Championship 2021-23 final.
