Pakistan cricket board announces its 2022 T20 men world cup roster
On 15 September 2022, Pakistan unraveled its roster for the T20 world cup 2022 which will be held in Australia. The T20 world cup 2022 will be held from October 16 to November 13, 2022. There are seven tourneys held in the span of 12 years and the green shirts had the best track records while coming to the world cup. The very first tournament was held in 2007 in which they were runner-up, while 2009 was the year that they won the trophy in the United Kingdom. After that 2010 and 2012, they are the dark horses of the tourney.
Now then after the turbulent covid pandemic now people are more confident than ever that the T20 world cup 2022 will run smoothly. The Pakistan squad for T20 World cup 2022 has a 15-member team that includes the following Babar Azam (c), Shadab Khan (VC), Asif Ali, Haider Ali, Haris Rauf, Iftikhar Ahmed, Khushdil, Mohammad Hasnain, Mohammad Nawaz, Mohammad Rizwan, Mohammad Wasim, Naseem Shah, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Shan Masood, Usman Qadir.
If the main takeaway for the squad of the T20 world cup 2022 is the inclusion of the prodigal son Shaheen Shahid Afridi who was on hiatus due to injury, the good news for the team is that he will be making it back to the team just in time for the tournament. T20 world cup 2022 will be the biggest test for the team as they are looking for their second trophy which eluded them for seven years and will bring everything to the table including the proverbial kitchen sink.

They are looking for revenge after the Aussies knocked them out at the 2021 semi-finals for the second time since 2010. The tournament will be kickstarted when they will face their arch nemesis India on the Melbourne ground on 23 October 2022. Although as I mentioned that Afridi is going on rehab for nursing the Knee injury, Pakistan top order batman Fakhar Zaman has been relegated to reserves, due to his poor performance in the 2022 Asia cup. Shah Mahmood has been called up for the T20 world cup 2022 which have a decent experience in the T20 career having 2985 runs.
The team is plagued with the middle order curse where if the top order falls the middle order will fall like dominos. As the T20 world cup, 2022 progresses the middle order hopefully be strengthened with the retention of Khushdil, Asif Ali and Iftikhar Ahmed hope is likely that the middle order be fortified.
Conclusion:
The squad is similar to that of Asia cup 2022, in which the middle order has always been the kryptonite to the first order and final order. The T20 world cup 2022 really made the baffling decision by excluding the veteran Shoaib Malik and Muhammad Hafeez, which in turn left Pakistan’s middle order in shambles.
