Pakistan ICC World Cup 2023 Squad and Players: Cricket is a favorite sport in many parts of the world, in former British territories like India, Pakistan, Australia and New Zealand. Cricket originated in England but became more popular in India and Pakistan.
England won the ICC Cricket World Cup, the sport’s biggest tournament in 2019. India won it in 1983 and 2011, while Pakistan won the trophy in 1996. The two teams are on course to meet in the upcoming ICC World Cup 2023 as well.
India recently announced their full squad while Pakistan is expected to announce it soon. Fans are eagerly awaiting the names of the players who will represent their countries at the World Cup.
India will be under more pressure as they are hosting the World Cup and will be playing at home. However, Pakistan should not be underestimated. The team is ranked No. 1 in ODIs and consists of some of the best fast bowlers and batsmen in the world. Pakistan is among the favorites to win the 2023 Cricket World Cup.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is yet to announce Pakistan’s squad for the World Cup. The deadline for submitting the roster is September 28th, so the official roster announcement could be made at any time.
Both India and Pakistan are currently engaged in the 2023 Asia Cup, so based on that and expert opinion, we can predict Pakistan’s final 15-man squad for the World Cup.
