Babar Azam, the talented batsman who recently reclaimed the captaincy reins, will lead Pakistan's charge in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024. With their eyes set on glory, Pakistan has unveiled a formidable 15-man squad packed with pace.

Despite concerns over his fitness and match practice, fast bowler Haris Rauf has earned his place in the squad. Rauf, who sustained a shoulder injury during the Pakistan Super League earlier this year, has showcased his readiness for the challenge ahead with impressive performances in training sessions.

The Pakistan Cricket Board's selection committee expressed confidence in Rauf's abilities, emphasizing his full fitness and promising form in the nets. Rauf's return to action marks a significant boost for Pakistan's pace arsenal, adding depth and firepower to their bowling attack.

Led by the experienced Mohammad Amir, who recently came out of retirement, Pakistan's pace battery features the likes of Shaheen Shah Afridi, Naseem Shah, and Abbas Afridi. This formidable quartet, along with Rauf, forms a potent combination capable of unsettling any opposition batting lineup.

Notable exclusions from the squad include fast bowler Hasan Ali, as well as batters Agha Salman and Muhammad Irfan Khan. However, the inclusion of dynamic talents like Azam Khan, Saim Ayub, and Fakhar Zaman ensures a balanced squad capable of delivering match-winning performances with both bat and ball.

Pakistan finds themselves in Group A alongside arch-rivals India, as well as Canada and Ireland. Their campaign kicks off with a high-stakes encounter against the USA in Dallas on June 6, setting the stage for an exhilarating tournament ahead.

With a blend of experience and youth, bolstered by a pace-heavy attack, Pakistan is poised to make a strong statement in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. As Babar Azam leads his side into battle, cricket fans around the world eagerly anticipate the thrilling clashes and unforgettable moments that await in the quest for T20 supremacy.
