The historic New Zealand Test series, which begins on Monday, December 26 at Karachi’s National Bank Cricket Arena, will feature 16 players from Pakistan.
In September 2021, just before the Black Caps’ first scheduled match in Pakistan in 18 years, New Zealand canceled its tour of Pakistan due to security concerns that baffled the hosts.

For the two-Test series against New Zealand, the Green Shirts have selected uncapped middle order batter Kamran Ghulam and fast bowler Hasan Ali.
Hasan has taken over from Mohammad Ali, who, like Faheem Ashraf, has been advised to participate in the ongoing Pakistan Cup in Karachi. Kamran has replaced Azhar Ali, who announced his retirement last week.
