In a much-anticipated move, Pakistan’s National Selection Committee, head by Inzamam-ul-Haq, set to unveil the potential 15-member squad for the upcoming ICC Cricket World Cup. The announcement scheduled to take place tomorrow at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore, at 11 AM local time.
With the Asia Cup serving as a crucial platform for player evaluation, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) now faces the challenging task of narrowing down the 17 players initially selected for the Asia Cup to the final 15 who will represent Pakistan in the prestigious World Cup.
Among the notable considerations, the inclusion of Ali Rauf and Fakhar Zaman in the World Cup squad has encountered some uncertainty. Both Mohammad Haris and Abrar Ahmed considered as reserve players, should the need arise.
A potential change in the lineup includes the possibility of Hassan Ali replacing Nasim Shah in the final 15-member squad. This alteration could bring an added dimension to Pakistan’s bowling attack.
The expected World Cup squad comprises top players like Babar Azam, Abdullah Shafique, Fakhar Zaman, and Imam-ul-Haq. Alongside them, Iftikhar Ahmed, Mohammad Rizwan, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Nawaz, Osama Mir, and Haris Rauf are likely to secure their spots.
Moreover, Mohammad Wasim Jr., Hasan Ali, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Saud Shakeel, and Salman Ali Agha also anticipated to be part of the squad.
Cricket enthusiasts around the world await the final selection with bated breath, hoping for a squad that will bring glory to Pakistan on the global stage. Stay tuned for more updates on Pakistan’s journey in the upcoming ICC Cricket World Cup.
