Shan Masood will serve as Pakistan’s vice-captain for the three-game One-Day International series against New Zealand, which will begin on January 9.
Babar Azam will be assisted by Shan in place of Shadab Khan. Shan returned to the national ODI team after a three-year sabbatical. Shadab Khan suffered an index finger injury last week.
The left-handed batter’s final ODI was against Australia in Dubai in March 2019. He and Haris Sohail have been summoned back to the One-Day squad to strengthen the team’s experience.

Masood is presently a member of the Pakistan Test team, which is currently playing New Zealand in the second test.
