New Zealand all-rounder Michael Bracewell will captain the side, bringing experience from 47 T20Is. He scored 190 runs and took five wickets in PSL 2026. With the ball, Usama Mir and Mohammad Basit will be important. Mir took 20 wickets in 12 T20 Blast matches, while left-arm pacer Basit claimed 10 wickets in the PSL.
