“Khurram’s performance on the ongoing West Indies tour was brilliant, so the selectors decided to pick him in the [Test] team,” chief selector Mohsin Khan said.
“After the chairman selection committee’s discussion with other selectors and the Test captain [Misbah-ul-Haq] it is decided to include Khurram Manzoor as the 15th player in the national Test squad for the upcoming Pakistan v New Zealand Series,” a PCB media release said.
The first Test will be played in Hamilton from Jan 7-11 while the second will be held in Wellington from Jan 15-19. Besides Tests and Twenty20 matches, a six-match ODI series is also on the schedule.
