Pakistan selectors on Monday kept the same winning combination — which whitewashed Australia recently —against New Zealand for the three-match Twenty20 series starting this week.
Pakistan beat Australia by 33 runs in the third Twenty20 international on Sunday to clinch the series 3-0 — its first whitewash against Australia in a limited over series — prompting selectors not to make any changes.
Pakistan faces New Zealand in the three-match series with the first in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday, followed by the last two in Dubai on Friday and Sunday.
No change means experienced pace spearheads Mohammad Amir and Wahab Riaz continued to be left out, while fast bowler Rumman Raees is still not fit after suffering a knee injury.
