It was a side that contained some of the biggest names in the sport, Imran Khan, Wasim Akram, Javed Miandad and Inzamam-ul-Haq.<\/p>\n<h3>Recommended<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/static.independent.co.uk\/2023\/09\/21\/12\/AFP_33VG3CR.jpg\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/static.independent.co.uk\/2023\/09\/21\/10\/20fcee1c5bd26cf9dac6bc2ca313c208Y29udGVudHNlYXJjaGFwaSwxNjk1MzcyODg1-2.68679079.jpg\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/static.independent.co.uk\/2023\/09\/20\/18\/ce6754332d3c4dffee7b63e5682b7c1cY29udGVudHNlYXJjaGFwaSwxNjk1MzE0ODY2-2.73799161.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>More recently, Pakistan cricket has struggled on the international scene, in part due to the lengthy absence of touring sides due to the political situation. In 2009 a Sri Lanka team bus was attacked in Lahore, and no international side toured the country until Zimbabwe in 2015, while England did not return until November 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Babar Azam\u2019s team will want to impress on the biggest stage. But the side\u2019s chances of success were dealt a blow during the Asia Cup when Naseem Shah sustained a problematic shoulder injury that was more serious than feared and could see him ruled out for the entire tournament.<\/p>\n<p>Haris Rauf did not take part in the Asia cup, but the Pakistan Cricket Board has since posted videos of the fast bowler training and he is expected to play a part in the tournament even if he is not fit for the start.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Provisional squad:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Babar Azam (captain) (batter)<\/p>\n<p>Shadab Khan<\/p>\n<p>Fakhar Zaman<\/p>\n<p>Imam-ul-Haq<\/p>\n<p>Salman Ali Agha<\/p>\n<p>Iftikhar Ahmed<\/p>\n<p>Mohammad Rizwan<\/p>\n<p>Saud Shakeel<\/p>\n<p>Imad Wasim<\/p>\n<p>Shaheen Shah Afridi<\/p>\n<p>Haris Rauf<\/p>\n<p>Usama Mir<\/p>\n<p>Zaman Khan<\/p>\n<h3>Recommended<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/static.independent.co.uk\/2023\/09\/21\/12\/AFP_33VG3CR.jpg\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/static.independent.co.uk\/2023\/09\/21\/10\/20fcee1c5bd26cf9dac6bc2ca313c208Y29udGVudHNlYXJjaGFwaSwxNjk1MzcyODg1-2.68679079.jpg\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/static.independent.co.uk\/2023\/09\/20\/18\/ce6754332d3c4dffee7b63e5682b7c1cY29udGVudHNlYXJjaGFwaSwxNjk1MzE0ODY2-2.73799161.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Arshad Iqbal<\/p>\n<p>Hassan Ali<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/sport\/cricket\/pakistan-icc-cricket-world-cup-team-b2415865.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pakistan\u2019s Mohammad Rizwan plays a shot during the Asia Cup 2023 Sign up to our free sport newsletter for all the latest news on everything [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Who will be in Pakistan\u2019s ICC Cricket World Cup team?
