New Delhi: Pakistan have released Hasan Nawaz from their national one-day and T20 squads on Sunday owing to his poor form with the bat.
Pakistan are preparing for the bilateral series against Sri Lanka and a tri-series also involving Zimbabwe where opener Fakhar Zaman will take Hasan's place.
The T20I tri-series begins from November 17 witht the Pakistan Cricket Board deciding that no one will be called up to replace Hasan in the ODI squad for the three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka that begins on November 11
After Pakistan’s 2-1 one-day series win over South Africa, Hasan was told to gain experience in domestic cricket.
Reports suggest, Pakistan head coach Mike Hesson felt Hasan lacks experience of first-class cricket as he has played in pnly 12 domestic matches since 2023.
He was dismissed cheaply in each of the three-matches of T20I series and one ODI against South Africa
The PCB is yet to decide on a new head coach for the women's team after Muhammad Wasim was removed following their last-place finish at the World Cup.
Pakistan lost all their four group games and rest three were washed out due to rain in Colombo.
Speculation was rife over Wahab Riaz's appointment as consultant or head coach but a PCB official denied it.
"Wahab has already been working as a consultant in the PCB with various teams but has been given no new assignment as yet," the official told PTI.
PCB is in negotiations with two overseas coaches but is yet to finalise anyone and Riaz would be considered only when talks with either of the two fail.
"If things don’t work out with the foreign coaches, the PCB will look at local options foremost among them is former women's team captain, Bismah Maroof," the source added.
