Babar, Shaheen Snubbed: Pakistan’s T20 World Cup Hopes Dim?

Pakistan’s cricket strategists have raised eyebrows with the continued omission of star players Babar Azam and Shaheen Shah Afridi from the national T20 squad. Their absence is particularly striking given their pivotal role in Pakistan’s consecutive knockout stage appearances at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cups in 2021 and 2022.

Both players were conspicuously absent from the squad that recently secured a 3-0 whitewash against Bangladesh in early July. This decision, under new coach Hesson, has ignited debate amongst fans and experts alike.

The exclusion of such high-profile players raises concerns about Pakistan’s preparedness for the upcoming T20 World Cup. Their absence could significantly impact the team’s chances of success on the global stage.

This strategic shift by the Pakistan Cricket Board warrants close scrutiny. The upcoming months will reveal whether this gamble pays off or proves detrimental to Pakistan’s World Cup aspirations. The nation’s cricketing future hangs in the balance.
