Before arriving in pakistan, the New Zealand team faced a major setback as their two key players Finn Allen and Adam Milne faced injuries and got out of the series.

Allen sustained a back injury while Milne felt discomfort in his ankle after which it was decided to exclude them from the squad.

Tom Blundell the Wicket Keeper Batsman for the guest team and Zak Foulkes are named as alternatives for two injured players. The ex has previously visited Pakistan while the latter will be making his debut for the Black Caps.

It is worth mentioning that most of the players in the New Zealand squad are not part of their first team as key players like Kane Williamson, Rachin Ravindra, Daryll Mitchell, and others are engaged in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024.
