After a shocking exit from the T20 World Cup 2024, Pakistan will play for one last time in the ongoing edition on Monday (June 16) in Match 36 of the tournament at Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground, Lauderhill.

As PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi confirmed, there will be some major changes in Pakistan cricket in the future, if not in the next game. Therefore, you should not be surprised if big names get benched in a fixture which doesn't matter at all.

Pakistan may opt to bring in Azam Khan, who has been desperately wanting to perform in national colours. In addition, Abrar Ahmed, who did not get a single opportunity in the competition, could have a shot here.

Abrar's inclusion means Pakistan may have to drop Shadab Khan, who has not been in impressive form either. Along with him, Mohammad Rizwan and Mohammad Amir, two big names who failed to live up to the lofty standards. 

Iftikhar Ahmed, meanwhile, could also have a chance to return to the mix.
