The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), according to reports, will announce the national team for the 2023 World Cup following a careful review of the team’s most recent performance. This choice is being made as the PCB feels increasing pressure to put together a strong and evenly matched team for the World Cup, which will be held in India from October 5 to November 19.
Pakistan is one of the tournament favorites, but they must compete fiercely with other elite teams and give everything they have.
It should be noted that the team had only been decided upon yesterday after discussions with the captain, the head coach, and the selection committee. According to sources, the captain and the selection committee have decided to make just minor adjustments to the Asia Cup team. However, considering the playing conditions in India, it is speculated that mystery spinner Abrar Ahmed may be added to the 15-person roster.
The names of the players under consideration for review have not yet been made public by the Pakistan Cricket Board. Nevertheless, it is anticipated that selectors would carefully review the most recent bowling, all-round, and batsman performances.
Additionally, according to sources, PCB Chairman Zaka Ashraf plans to consult with past cricketers and captains before giving the national squad his final clearance.
The final roster is anticipated to be announced next week, possibly on Tuesday or Wednesday. The appraisal of the national team’s performance is anticipated to be finished within the next two to three days.
