Survey
Do you think the PCB made the right decision by focusing on T20is?
This tour will mark the first assignment of Mike Hesson in charge of the ODI team of Pakistan. The PCB has focused heavily on T20i cricket in the head of the T20 World Cup of next year, having even deleted the ODI leg of their home series against Bangladesh in May. Despite the reports suggesting that Pakistan preferred more than T20i to the ODIs against the Antilles, the 50-Over series remains intact. The team should reach the United States on July 27, after the end of its series in Bangladesh.
