Pakistan's Probable Squad for ICC ODI World Cup 2023: Can Babar and Afridi Lead Men in Green To Victory?

Pakistan’s Probable Squad for ICC ODI World Cup 2023

Batters: Fakhar Zaman, Imam-ul-Haq, Babar Azam (c), Mohammad Rizwan, Abdullah Shafique, Mohammad Haris

Pakistan has firmly secured its opening partnership with the seasoned duo of Fakhar Zaman and Imam-ul-Haq, who are poised to take charge at the crease. The third opener’s position presents a choice between Shan Masood and Abdullah Shafique, leaning towards the latter as Pakistan’s probable preference.

In the role of the primary keeper-batter, Mohammad Rizwan’s exceptional performances in the 50-over format earn him a definite spot, while young talent Mohammad Haris is in contention as his backup.

All-Rounders: Agha Salman, Iftikhar Ahmed, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Nawaz

Pakistan’s standout feature for the World Cup lies in their arsenal of four top-tier spin all-rounders: Iftikhar Ahmed, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Nawaz, and Agha Salman. The quartet is anticipated to be integral components of the playing XI, providing a well-rounded equilibrium to the Pakistani lineup.

Bowlers: Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf, Usama Mir, Mohammad Wasim Jr, Usama Mir

The fast bowling division exudes a formidable aura, boasting Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf, and Mohammad Wasim Jr. Afridi and Naseem are expected to lead the charge with the new ball, while Rauf will exert his influence during the middle overs.

In the reserves, Mohammad Wasim Jr is likely to secure a spot, alongside Usama Mir, whose leg-spin capabilities can offer a valuable asset beyond his baffling skills against opposing batsmen.
