The announcement came soon after Pakistan claimed a convincing 2-1 series win over South Africa. Pakistan defeated South Africa by seven wickets in the third and final ODI at Iqbal Stadium, Faisalabad.
South Africa won the toss and chose to bat but failed to build a strong total. The visitors scored 143 runs and lost all wickets in the 37th over.
Pakistan comfortably chased the 144 run target in the 26th over for the loss of three wickets.
Pakistan won the first match of the series by two wickets. South Africa levelled the series in the second ODI with an eight wicket win, but Pakistan finished strongly and secured the series in style.
