Today, Pakistan is expected to announce its squad for the T20 World Cup 2024, creating much anticipation among fans.
The announcement is likely to occur before Pakistan takes on England in the second T20I of their ongoing series.
All eyes are on Mohammad Amir and Imad Wasim, as both players have been under intense scrutiny. The squad announcement comes after Pakistan’s recent tour in the UK, where they won a three-match series against Ireland 2-1.
Returning pacer Haris Rauf has edged out Hasan Ali, indicating Pakistan’s strong pace attack for the tournament.
Shaheen Shah Afridi, Naseem Shah, and possibly Amir or Abbas Afridi will lead the pace unit, ensuring a formidable bowling lineup.
“Pakistan take on England in the second game of the four-match series in Edgbaston on Friday, but the squad announcement is likely before that,” reads a recent update. Fans are eagerly waiting to see if Babar Azam, who has been reappointed as captain, will continue batting at number three.
Twitter is buzzing with reactions to the expected squad announcement.
One tweet reads,
“Excited to see if Amir makes it back into the squad! #T20WorldCup #PakistanCricket”.
Imad Wasim, Shadab Khan, and Abrar Ahmed are expected to form the spin trio, while star batter Mohammad Rizwan and Azam Khan will be the wicketkeepers.
The batting lineup will likely include Babar, Saim Ayub, and Fakhar Zaman, with Iftikhar Ahmed and Agha Salman adding depth as all-rounders.
Pakistan’s journey in the T20 World Cup will begin on June 6 against co-hosts USA in Dallas. A highly anticipated match against arch-rivals India is set for June 9 in New York, promising to be a highlight of the tournament.
