In preparation for the ICC Twenty20 World Cup that will take place in 2022, Pakistan has selected 15 players for their team, including their great bowler, Shaheen Shah Afridi, who will play for Pakistan once again. Because of an injury, the left-arm pacer was unable to participate in the Asia Cup, which took place not too long ago.
However, it is anticipated that the left-arm pacer will be fit, and he will strive to return to shape as early as they possibly can. In addition to Shaheen, Naseem Shah, who won everyone over with his bowling antics during the Asia Cup, has been named on the team.
Shoaib Malik, an experienced batsman, has not been selected by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). Another senior batter, Fakhar Zaman, who did not have a very good time at the Asia Cup, has been put in the reserves due to a knee injury.
Pakistan announces their squad for the ICC World T20 2022
Shan Masood, who played well in the 2022 County Championship and the T20 Blast, has been selected for the team. Similarly, batter Haider Ali, who has not competed for Pakistan in a significant amount of time lately, has been selected for the team.
The Men in Green will take on England in a Twenty20 International series that will begin on September 20 and consist of seven matches. Pakistan is coming off of a humiliating loss that they sustained at the hands of Sri Lanka in the championship match of the Asia Cup that was just finished.
Following victories over the Three Lions in the Twenty20 International bilateral series played at home, as well as New Zealand and Bangladesh in a Twenty20 International tri-series played in New Zealand, Babar Azam and company will open their T20 World Cup campaign against their fiercest rivals, India. They will be looking to get off to a strong start in the competition.
Pakistan squad:
Babar Azam (c), Shadab Khan (vc), Asif Ali, Haider Ali, Haris Rauf, Iftikhar Ahmed, Khushdil Shah, Mohammad Hasnain, Mohammad Nawaz, Mohammad Rizwan, Mohammad Wasim, Naseem Shah, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Shan Masood, Usman Qadir
Reserves: Fakhar Zaman, Mohammad Haris, Shahnawaz Dahani

I can't understand why they have putted fakhar in reserve when we need him in the opening spot, they have to take Shan Masood at no 4 and rested one shell from the middle order so we can have a good middle order as well, The weak zone is still the weak zone.#PakistanCricket
