The Pakistani cricket team has announced its squad for the T20 World Cup in Australia, which will be played from October 16 to November 13. Shan Masood has been recalled to the squad for the first time. Mohammad Wasim Junior has recovered from a side strain, and Shahnawaz Dahani is expected to return on October 15 after recovering from a knee injury.
Fakhar Zaman
Fakhar Zaman, Pakistan’s top-order batsman, has been named in the Pakistan T20 World Cup squad. The Pakistan Cricket Board has announced his inclusion in the squad, and he will arrive in Brisbane on Saturday. He will be joined by Shaheen Afridi, who is preparing for the competition. Both players have recently recovered from knee injuries. Fakhar was in line to replace Usman Qadir, who required more time to recover from a hairline fracture.
Captain Babar Azam has also arrived in Brisbane after celebrating his birthday in Melbourne. The team will train in Brisbane this week before the tournament begins on November 13. The men in green will also play two warm-up games against England and Afghanistan at the Gabba.
Fakhar Zaman, Shaheen Shah Afridi, and Shaheen Shah Afridi have been included in the Pakistan T20 World Cup squad after recovering from a knee injury. Zaman and Afridi were spotted with the players and coaches on Sunday.
Usman Qadir
Usman Qadir, named in the Pakistan T20 World Cup squad, has been ruled out of the Australia T20I tri-series. Fakhar Zaman has been named in his place. Pakistan will begin its Men’s T20 World Cup campaign against India on October 23 at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground.
Fakhar Zaman, Usman Qadir, and Shaheen Shah Afridi will join the team in Brisbane on Sunday. Usman Qadir was ruled out of the Tri-series against England and New Zealand after sustaining a hairline fracture in his right thumb. He has not fully recovered from the injury and will not be eligible for selection until October 22. Shaheen Shah Afridi, who has a history of injuries, is also available.
Fakhar Afridi is expected to be available for selection for the tri-nation series against England and Afghanistan. Fakhar will also be available for selection in the warm-up match against England. The left-handed batsman will be evaluated by team management as he continues to recover from injury.
Mohammed Shami
Pakistan has confirmed Mohammed Shami’s inclusion in the T20 World Cup squad. The pacer has replaced Jasprit Bumrah, who has been ruled out with a back injury. In addition to SHAMI, Mohammed Siraj has been added to the standby list. Shami is expected to play his first warm-up game against Australia on Sunday.
As the T20 World Cup nears, the Pakistan team’s squad is expected to grow in strength. Pakistan is the defending champions in the tournament, and their first match is against Pakistan in Brisbane on September 7. The Pakistan cricket board has shared a video showing the Pakistani team meeting Indian and Australian players. The players met with a few Australians, who gave them tips on their bowling techniques.
India’s warm-up match in Brisbane was a good test for Shami, who bowled a three-for-four over to help India win by six runs. As a result, the skipper Rohit Sharma had to hold Shami back until the last over, which was his chance to stamp his authority on the match.
Shahid Afridi
After undergoing a rehabilitation program in the UK, Pakistan fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi has been selected for the national T20 squad for the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 in Brisbane. The team management will now assess whether Shaheen is ready for the World Cup. Afridi will be available for the team’s warm-up matches.
The national T20 squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup has arrived in Brisbane, Australia. The tournament begins on November 13 and will feature 16 teams worldwide. The team recently competed in the triangular series in Christchurch, where they defeated New Zealand in the final. As part of the team’s preparations, the Pakistan Cricket Board invited the captains of all teams to Australia to celebrate Shahid Afridi’s birthday.
After the announcement of the T20 World Cup squad, the PCB has come under fire from fans and former players. Misbah-ul-Haq resigned the same day the team announced its squad for the tournament. The team’s selection has also provoked criticism from former players and coaches.
Haris Sohail
As the T20 World Cup, 2022, is less than a month away, Pakistan isis likely to change its fifteen-man squad. In addition to Haris Sohail, veteran batter Shoaib Malik is also running for a place in the side. The former was sacked by the Pakistan selectors earlier this month. Both players have not featured in the national setup since the end of last year’s tour.
The Pakistani team will head to Brisbane tomorrow after playing today’s T20I tri-series final against New Zealand. Skipper Babar Azam will head to Melbourne for the trophy shoot and pre-tournament captain’s press conference, while Shaheen Shah Afridi and Fakhar Zaman will head to Brisbane tomorrow. Dr. Javed will accompany the cricketers.
For personal reasons, Mohammad Amir and Haris Sohail will miss the ODI series against England. Haris Sohail is a former Test player who is a fast bowler but has a back injury and won’t be able to play. Mohammad Amir is also a father, but his second child was due in August. Sohail’s absence is not entirely unexpected, given the circumstances.
Rashid Curran
The England T20 squad arrives in Brisbane with several big names missing from their squad. After the retirement of Eoin Morgan, Ben Stokes, and Chris Woakes, Moeen Ali has been named to the team. In the absence of Buttler, England will be led by Moeen Ali, a Worcestershire batsman. In all, 19 players are named in the squad. Five players have never played international cricket, while five are uncapped.
England had a tough time keeping Pakistan at a manageable score, and despite batting at a healthy 172, England’s bowlers could keep Pakistan at bay. Their opening bowler, Ben Stokes, took three wickets in his first over and two for 17. England’s Sam Curran took two wickets for seven runs in the second over. Mark Wood was also electric, taking two for 23. In Australia, the England bowlers took a toll on Pakistan’s batting line-up.
Fakhar Zaman has been sidelined due to injury. The injured opener missed the tour against Sri Lanka due to an injury to his knee. In addition to missing the T20 World Cup, he will also miss the seven-match T20 series against England. Rashid Curran, meanwhile, chose uncapped fast bowler Mohammad Saleem in place of the injured Fakhar Zaman. He also picked allrounder Qais Ahmad and battered Darwish Rasooli in place of him.
