For the first time, Ahsan Ali and Emad Butt have been part of the Pakistani team due to an excellent performance in domestic cricket.
National team head coach Misbah-ul-Haq said: "We have announced this squad with a lot of thought in order to give Pakistan a win.
He said that Fakhar Zaman has been dropped from the t20 team squad because his form is not good while Asif Ali and Harris Sohail could not make it to the squad.
Harris Rauf, who played the outstanding game in the Australian T20 League Big Bash, also received the award for outstanding performance and was also successful in becoming a part of the first-class Pakistani squad.
Head Coach Misbah Ul Huque said.
"Our performance was consistently poor and we couldn't win matches in Australia, so before this series it was very important for us to think about how we could win again,"
We have often made decisions in the mind that we have to go to victory again to start a series of victories.
We have brought back the experience of the team and some of the domestic cricketing players such as Ahsan Ali and Emad Butt.
He said that Ahsan Ali, especially in the Pakistan Super League, had a very good performance, Harris Rauf is a good form these days and after showing good performance here, he is still in the big bash with his performance and form.
Emad Butt did a great job on the tour of the Emerging Players, and he did well in the T20 tournament here and he has embraced his potential as an all-rounder in the white ball.
The players who were dropped include Fakhr Zaman, Asif Ali, Harris Sohail, Imamul Haq, Wahab Riaz, Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Irfan, and young players have been given priority in the bowling.
T20 team captain Babar Azam said that the team formation included my consultation and tried to create a combination of senior junior players to end the match.
Misbah said that the World Cup is still far so we will not panic to change the team until we make the best combination and try to make the best squad combination.
"We are trying players one by one because not everyone can be played together, giving Ahsan Ali a chance in this series and also some seniors. After the Pakistan Super League you will be given plenty of things. The answers will be found and a team will be formed.
The Bangladesh team will visit Pakistan will visit in three phases, in which three T20s, two Tests and one ODI will be played.
