Pakistan is considered one of the strong contenders to win the World Cup this year, and the players are likely to face significant pressure to deliver on the field. Moreover, competing in India, where the rivalry between the two cricketing nations is intense, will add to the challenges faced by Babar Azam and his team.

Recognizing the significance of mental strength in cricket, the PCB aims to provide the players with the necessary support and guidance. As most of the players will be playing in India for the first time, the presence of a psychologist is deemed crucial in helping them maintain a positive and focused mindset throughout the competition.

While the PCB is exploring potential candidates for the psychologist role, no official appointment has been made as of yet. However, the board’s proactive approach in seeking professional assistance to address the players’ mental well-being reflects their commitment to giving Pakistan the best chance of success in the World Cup.
