As expected, Pakistan have recalled Mohammad Amir and Imad Wasim, who took retirement from international cricket, for their T20 World Cup squad. There is no surprise in the entire squad, with Hasan Ali not being picked among the main squad.
However, there is no reserve player announced either.
It is important to mention that Amir last played in a World Cup for Pakistan way back in 2016. Imad Wasim, on the other hand, last played for the country in the 2021 edition, in the UAE.
In a press release, PCB also gave an update on Haris Rauf, who is still recovering from an injury.
“Haris Rauf is fully fit and bowling well in the nets. It would have been nice if he had gotten an outing at Headingley, but we remain confident that he will continue to maintain an upward trajectory in the upcoming matches, as he will have an important role to play along with other strike bowlers in the T20 World Cup,” a PCB statement read.
As usual, Babar Azam will continue to lead the side, while Fakhar Zamn, Mohammad Rizwan, Naseem Shah, Shaheen Afridi, Azam Khan, and Iftikhar Ahmed all have retained their places.
It is important to note that Pakistan will have a brand new coach in Gary Kirsten, who was Gujarat Titans’ batting coach and mentor in IPL 2024.
