Babar Azam of Pakistan has been named the captain of the side. Another Pakistani Mohammad Rizwan has been paired with England's Jos Buttler in the opening slots.
The other members of the team are - Aiden Markram (South Africa), Mitchell Marsh (Australia), David Miller (South Africa), Wanindu Hasaranga (Sri Lanka), Tabraiz Shamsi (South Africa), Josh Hazlewood (Australia), Shaheen Afridi (Pakistan).
