Pakistan Squad for T20 World Cup 2024: Babar Azam to Captain Pakistan National Cricket Team in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced the strong squad of the Pakistan National Cricket Team for the upcoming ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024. The Newly appointed captain of Pakistan, Babar Azam will be leading the side in the T20 World Cup 2024 and however, it was quite predicted after Shaheen Shah Afridi was sacked from the position.

Apart from Pakistan, all 19 other teams had already announced their 15-member squad for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 before May 24. Now, Pakistan has revealed their 15-member squad for ICC CWC 2024 but there are some surprise omissions in the team and some surprise additions as well. 

The Star Pacer Haris Rauf has been added to Pakistan’s squad after recovering from a shoulder injury. Haris Rauf hasn’t played any bilateral series for Pakistan in the past few months, he played his last T20I on January 19, 2024. The Addition of Haris Rauf will strengthen the bowling unit of Pakistan in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024.

The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 is set to start from June 02, The USA and West Indies are the host nations of the upcoming tournament. Both Pakistan and India are in Group A and they will be playing against each other on June 09 at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York. However, Pakistan will play their first game of the tournament against the USA at Grand Prairie Stadium in Texas.

Pakistan’s Powerhouse Batting Unit for T20 World Cup 2024:

Pakistan has added some of the inform and robust batters to the team like Fakhar Zaman, Azam Khan and Mohd. Rizwan including the skipper Babar Azam. Fakhar Azam and Mohd. Rizwan has been consistently playing exceptional cricket for their team in the last few T20I games. 

Shadab Khan and Iftikhar Ahmed will be vital assets to the team in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 as they will not only contribute with the bat but also with the ball. But, Shadab Khan wasn’t in good form and this might be a huge problem for Pakistan which they need to cope-up before the T20 World Cup 2024. As of now, England and Pakistan are playing the four-match T20I series and they first was washed out by rain.

Will Pakistan have the best bowling unit in the T20 World Cup 2024?

Pakistan is known for its fiery bowling department which includes some of the big names like Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haris Rauf and Naseem Shah. The trio of these players will be a killer for Pakistan in the T20 World Cup 2024. If we look at the full squad then Pakistan has one of the best bowling units as compared to the other teams of the tournament.
