Despite being included in the T20I squad, Rauf and Shaheen Shah Afridi were not included in the ODI series due to a poor performance in the Champions Trophy, where host Pakistan lost.
Pakistani bowler Haris Rauf was initially left out of the ODI format for a three-match series against the Black Caps, but he has now returned to the team in New Zealand. Due to a poor performance in the Champions Trophy, where host Pakistan lost, Rauf and Shaheen Shah Afridi were included in the T20I team but were not included in the ODI series.With seven wickets, however, Rauf became Pakistan’s top wicket-taker in the recently finished Twenty20 International series, which the Kiwis won 4-1, forcing the team management to reconsider their choice.Muhammad Haris or Usman Khan would also be kept for the ODI series that starts in Napier on Saturday, according to a PCB source selector. Aaqib Javed has also asked for the addition of a backup wicketkeeper-batter to the ODI team.
