Meanwhile, in cricketing action, Pakistan’s T20I captain Salman Ali Agha praised all-rounder Mohammad Nawaz for his match-winning performance against Afghanistan.

Speaking after the victory, Agha said that Pakistan is fully prepared for the upcoming Asia Cup. He highlighted that the team’s decision to include two spinners was based on pitch conditions, which proved effective.
