In a recent piece of news, Pakistan selectors have announced the squad for the upcoming 20-20 World Cup 2022 commencing on the 16th of October in Australia. The men in green have finished as the runners-up in the recently-concluded Men’s T20 Asia Cup 2022. Babar & co. performed brilliantly in the tournament by winning three out of six matches they played in the continental tournament.

In these two clashes, the men in green lost the group match to India by five wickets which they cleared off later in the super-4 by outplaying the men in blue with a margin of five wickets.
