The forthcoming ICC Men’s ODI World Cup 2023 will take place in India, and Pakistan is now in the process of finalising their 15-member roster for the tournament.
As a result of the team’s early elimination from the Asia Cup 2023, the selectors are deliberating over potential lineups very seriously.
When the recent results of the team are taken into account, it is possible that Mohammad Haris, Usama Mir, Mohammad Wasim Jnr, and Faheem Asraf will not be selected for the World Cup 2023 roster.
On the other hand, there is a possibility that right-arm medium pacer Hassan Ali and right-arm leg-break spinner Abrar Ahmed would be included in the 15-member team.
Both opener Fakhar Zaman and vice captain Shadab Khan are anticipated to be a part of the squad for the huge event, despite the fact that there are doubts over the condition of both players.
Imad Wasim’s name is also being considered for the team due to the fact that he has a wealth of experience playing cricket at the international level, particularly in high-stakes competitions like the World Cup 2023. Imad’s ability to exert control over the game with his spin and contribute with the bat as well as the ball lends credibility to his case for selection.
Pakistan’s probable 15-member squad for the World Cup 2023: Babar Azam(C), Imam-ul-Haq, Fakhar Zaman, Abdullah Shafiq, Salman Ali Agha, Iftikhar Ahmed, Saud Shakeel, Mohammad Rizwan(wk), Mohammad Nawaz/Imad Wasim, Shadab Khan, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haris Rauf, Hassan Ali, and Zaman Khan.
