Full Analysis Summary
Pakistan Cricket Squad Changes
Pakistan has dropped Hasan Nawaz from its white-ball squads for the upcoming home fixtures.
Revsportz linked the decision to a series of low scores.
Fakhar Zaman has been added to the T20I squad in Hasan’s place.
No replacement has been named for the ODI squad, and the rest of the team remains unchanged, according to Revsportz.
Arab News reports that Hasan has been released from the national team to participate in the ongoing Quaid-e-Azam Trophy.
The seventh round of the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy begins on 11 November.
Arab News outlines the schedule for Pakistan’s three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka, which will take place from 11 to 15 November in Rawalpindi.
This will be followed by a T20I tri-nation series with Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe from 17 to 29 November in Rawalpindi and Lahore, with the final on 29 November at Qaddafi Stadium.
In contrast, Arab News Pakistan’s coverage during this window focuses on unrelated NBA results, highlighting a different editorial focus rather than additional details on the Pakistan cricket squads.
Coverage Differences
narrative
Revsportz (Other) frames Hasan Nawaz’s omission as performance-based, explicitly citing “a series of low scores,” while Arab News (West Asian) presents it administratively, stating he was “released” to play in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy and emphasizing the domestic pathway and upcoming schedule. Arab News PK (West Asian) diverges entirely by focusing on NBA coverage, offering no narrative on the cricket decision.
missed information
Revsportz highlights that no ODI replacement was named and that the rest of the team remains unchanged, while Arab News complements this with broader scheduling and the domestic release detail; Arab News PK provides no cricket-specific information relevant to Hasan Nawaz’s omission.
unique/off-topic coverage
Arab News PK (West Asian) covers NBA game results instead of the Pakistan squad changes, indicating an editorial focus away from this cricket development at that time.
Cricket Squad Updates and Schedules
Both Revsportz and Arab News agree that Fakhar Zaman replaces Hasan in the T20I squad.
No replacement will be named for the ODI squad.
Revsportz adds that Fakhar was previously a reserve for the South Africa T20Is.
Arab News notes that the updated 15-member squads for both ODI and T20I formats have been announced.
Arab News specifies the venues and dates for the ODI series in Rawalpindi from 11 to 15 November.
The tri-nation T20I series will take place across Rawalpindi and Lahore from 17 to 29 November, with the final at Qaddafi Stadium.
Arab News PK’s unrelated NBA roundup indicates it did not expand on the Pakistan squad news in its coverage.
Coverage Differences
missed information
Revsportz (Other) uniquely mentions Fakhar Zaman’s prior role as a reserve for the South Africa T20Is, a detail not present in Arab News (West Asian), which instead emphasizes the formal announcement of updated 15-member squads.
tone
Revsportz focuses on team composition mechanics (no ODI replacement; rest unchanged), while Arab News provides logistical context (venues and match dates) around the same selection decisions. Arab News PK remains off-topic with basketball coverage.
Hasan's Omission and Squad Changes
Revsportz directly attributes Hasan’s omission to form, stating he was removed due to a series of low scores.
Arab News does not cite performance and instead reports he was released to play the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, implying a development pathway without assigning blame.
Both accounts agree on the immediate consequences: Fakhar moves into the T20I squad and no ODI replacement is planned.
Arab News provides the broader competitive context by detailing the ODI and tri-nation schedules and venues.
Arab News PK’s concurrent NBA coverage offers no information about Hasan’s performance or selection rationale.
Coverage Differences
tone
Revsportz (Other) uses performance-linked language—“series of low scores”—framing the drop as merit-based, whereas Arab News (West Asian) avoids evaluative language and presents an administrative decision—Hasan being “released” to domestic cricket.
narrative
Revsportz centers on selection outcomes (drop, replacement, unchanged ODI squad), while Arab News situates the decision within the upcoming fixtures—ODI series dates and tri-series schedule with venues.

Coverage Differences
consistency vs. scope
