Regulars Babar, Afridi and Naseem return for Pakistan's white-ball tour of Australia
Babar stepped down as skipper in all three formats last year after Pakistan failed to make the knockout stage of the 50-over World Cup, before returning as white-ball captain in March for the T20 World Cup where the team did not make the Super Eight.
The batting mainstay as well as pace bowler Afridi were left out of Pakistan's last two tests against England, and the team wrapped up a 2-1 series win on Saturday.
The trio will not feature in the matches against Zimbabwe which follow the Australian series, however, as they will be rested.
Wicketkeeper-batsman Mohammad Rizwan will be available for the Australia games and the Zimbabwe ODIs, but will be rested for the T20s.
Pakistan play three ODIs and three T20Is against both Australia and Zimbabwe. The Australia tour runs from November 4th - 18th, and the matches in Bulawayo will be played from November 24th - December 5th.
Rizwan is a leading contender for the captaincy along with Salman Ali Agha, local media reported.
