Lahore: With time running out for the submission of ODI World Cup squads, Pakistan – who would be one of the contenders in India to clinch the silverware – will announce their squad for the marquee event today. Reports across media suggest that the announcement will happen during the day. Without a doubt, Babar Azam would be leading the side with Mohammed Rizwan as his deputy. What we already know is that premier pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi is likely to miss three ODI WC games and that would be a massive setback for the side.
A number changes are expected in the squad with chief selector, Inzamam-ul-Haq will have a few names in mind, who can make the cut.
As per sources, Hassan Ali is likely to make a comeback to the 15-member squad.
Mohammad Haris, Usama Mir, Mohammad Wasim Jnr and Faheem Asraf’s selection looks in big doubt.
Star players, Fakhar Zaman and Shadab Khan are clearly out of form and their performance was evident in the Asia Cup 2023. But as per Pakistani media both of them will make it to the Final squad.
Pakistan’s Probable 15-member-squad for the World Cup Squad: Babar Azam (c), Imam-ul-Haq, Fakhar Zaman, Abdulla Shafiq, Salman Ali Agha, Iftikhar Ahmed, Saud Shakeel, Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Mohammad Nawaz, Shadab Khan, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haris Rauf, Hassan Ali, Zaman Khan.
At the ODI WC, Pakistan take on India in the much-awaited game on October 14 at the iconic Narendra Modi stadium in Ahmedabad. It is set to be the ‘final before the final’, at least for the fans.
