LAHORE: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has announced squads for the upcoming white-ball tour of the West Indies, with two major headlines - the return of pace spearhead Shaheen Shah Afridi to the T20I setup and the continued absence of former captain Babar Azam from the shortest format.

Afridi, who missed the recent Bangladesh series, has been recalled to bolster Pakistan’s pace attack for the three-match T20I series in Florida. The left-arm speedster joins fellow pacers Haris Rauf and Hasan Ali in a strong bowling lineup.
