Wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan took over as captain. PCB, however, stated Babar didn't come on field as he wasn’t feeling well.

According to the details, Pakistani cricketers planned to have dinner at a restaurant in Clifton. According to the procedure, they needed to inform the security authorities in advance, but this was not done.
