Mohammad Haris is known for his aggressive approach to batting and is currently Pakistan's favoured wicketkeeper in T20Is. However, the batter has failed to live upto the expectations and has scored just 37 runs in eight innings after his century against Bangladesh.
Thus, there is pressure on him to deliver ahead of the Asia Cup 2025, and there are chances that Pakistan might look beyond him. Thus, in this article, we will look at the three wicketkeeping options who can replace Haris in Pakistan's T20I squad.
Azam Khan Azam Khan, the hard-hitting wicketkeeper batter, has not been able to take his chances at the international level . He has scored 88 runs in 14 T20Is and now has found himself out of the Pakistan setup.

However, he has played for various franchises across the globe and has been pretty successful as well. He can tonk the ball a long way, and if he gets the consistency part of his game right, he could be a useful asset for Pakistan.
Also, Pakistan are opting for aggressive players in the shortest format now, and thus Azam Khan has a great chance to make his comeback if he scores runs in domestic cricket.
Haseebullah Khan Haseebullah Khan has played three T20Is for Pakistan, but could score only 36 runs in total. However, if given more chances, he can be a good wicketkeeping batter option for Pakistan.

His record in domestic cricket is brilliant in List A, and if he can translate that into the T20 format, he could return to Pakistan's T20I team. Also, he is quite flexible as a batter and can open as well as bat in the lower middle order according to the needs of the team.
Khawaja Nafay The 23-year-old Khawaja Nafay has not played for Pakistan so far, but has done well in domestic T20 cricket. He was impressive for Quetta Gladiators as well in PSL 2024 and could get an elevation into the national side in future.

Nafay is a raw talent who is rated very highly in Pakistan cricket and has shown the ability to accelerate in his brief career. Thus, he could be a long term option for Pakistan if gets more games under his belt and lives upto the high expectations.
