World Cup 2023: Pakistan Team Issued Indian Visa For ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023: On September 25, 2023, Pakistani Players issued Indian Visas for the World Cup 2023 after the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) wrote a letter to ICC for delay in Visa for the Marquee event in India.

Pakistan’s World Cup 2023 journey begins with a warm-up match against New Zealand on September 29, 2023. Pakistan will play its first match of World Cup 2023 against the Netherlands on September 6, 2023, at Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium, Hyderabad.

Babar Azam is going to lead the Pakistan Team in the World Cup 2023. PCB will announce the final list of players for the World Cup 2023 on 28 September 2023.

Pakistan will play its biggest match of World Cup 2023 against India on September 14, 2023, at Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium, Ahmedabad.

Fakhar Zaman and Imam-ul-Haq will open for Pakistan in the World Cup. Fakhar Zaman currently stands at the 7th spot in the latest ICC ODI Batting ranking, while Imam-ul-Haq stands at the 3rd spot in the latest ICC ODI Batting Ranking.

Babar Azam will play at one down for Pakistan in the World Cup. Babar Azam currently stands at 1st spot in the latest ICC Men’s ODI Batting Ranking.

The Key Players of Pakistan in the World Cup 2023 are Captain Babar Azam, Imam-ul-Haq, Shaheen Afridi, Haris Raud, Shadab Khan and Fakhar Zaman.

Pakistan has included Hasan Ali in their World Cup Squad, replacing Naseem Shah, who was injured during an Asia Cup match against India on September 10, 2023, at R. Premadasa Cricket Stadium, Colombo.

Shaheen Afridi will captain Pakistan’s bowling unit in the 2023 World Cup alongside his partners Haris Rauf, Shadab Khan, Usman Mir, and Mohammed Wasim Jr.

Pakistan’s team does not have any specialist spinners in their squad. Shadab Khan didn’t perform well in both bowling and batting during the Asia Cup 2023 for Pakistan. Spinners will play an important role in the World Cup.
