First group of Pak players returns home after humiliating ODI series loss to West Indies

The first batch of Pakistan cricket players, including T20I captain Salman Ali Agha, has returned home following a mixed tour of the West Indies, which ended with the worst ODI series defeat for the Green Shirts, 24NewsHD TV reported on Friday.  

Alongside Salman Agha, Hasan Ali, Faheem Ashraf, and Hasan Nawaz, white-ball head coach Mike Hesson reached Pakistan.

The Pakistan tour of West Indies ended on a poor note as the home side, West Indies, ended their 34-year wait with an ODI series win over the Green Shirts.

 The visitors started strong, clinching the three-match series. However, after winning the first ODI, Pakistan collapsed dramatically, losing the next two matches.

In the last ODI, West Indies posted a commanding total of 294-6 in their allocated 50 overs.

West Indies skipper Shai Hope starred with the bat, scoring a sublime century, and powered his team to a sublime total.

In reply, Pakistan demonstrated a shambolic batting display as pacer Jayden Seales tormented the visitors’ batting line-up with a record six-wicket haul.

Eventually, the West Indies bundled out Pakistan for a meagre 92 runs and won the series and match by 202 runs.

With this dominant win, West Indies secured their first ODI series win over Pakistan since 1991.

The Green Shirts will now head to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for a tri-nation T20Is series, featuring the hosts UAE and Afghanistan, ahead of the Asia Cup 2025

The series will commence on August 29 at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium and run until September 7.

 After the tri-series, Pakistan is set to compete in the Asia Cup 2025, which is scheduled from September 9 to 28.
