Salman Ali Agha: Pakistan made two notable changes to their playing eleven for the final T20I of their three-match series against Australia at the Bellerive Oval on Monday as regular captain Mohammad Rizwan has been rested with Salman Ali Agha shouldering the captain's responsibility.

With the series already lost 0-2, besdies Rizwan, the team management decided to rest pace spearhead Naseem Shah while 21-year-old left-arm pacer Jahandad Khan was handed his international debut.

While Pakistan did not officially confirm the reasons behind Rizwan’s absence, it is believed that the decision was taken to rest the wicketkeeper-batter, who has been a consistent figure in both formats of the series.
