why haris rauf is not playing today

Haris Rauf is not playing today because he has been rested by the Pakistan cricket team management. This rest is part of workload management to keep him fresh for the upcoming Asia Cup 2025. He has also been recovering from a previous hamstring injury sustained during the Major League Cricket 2025 tournament in the USA, which had already sidelined him for some time. For the current Tri-series in the UAE, he is being rested along with Shaheen Afridi, with replacements coming in for them in the playing XI to avoid injury risks ahead of major tournaments like the Asia Cup.
