Pakistan Test captain Shan Masood confirmed spinner Sajid Khan is “one of the automatic picks” in the team given the impact he can have.
Sajid has become a regular face in the playing XI in the longest format and has consistently delivered stellar performances, especially on home soil.
During the recent two-Test series against South Africa, the 32-year-old claimed six wickets at an average of 45.
“Sajid Khan is one of the automatic picks on our team sheet,” Masood was quoted as saying by PakPassion on X, formerly known as Twitter.
After the Test series, Pakistan beat South Africa 2-1 in both the T20Is and ODIs.
The men in green are now taking on Sri Lanka in a three-match ODI series, where they hold a 2-0 lead.
Following this, they will face Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe in a T20I tri-series from November 18 to 29.
