Pakistan’s national cricket team has been bolstered by the inclusion of all-rounder Shadab Khan and pacer Hasan Ali for the upcoming T20I series in Ireland, with both players joining the squad on Wednesday.
Under the leadership of Babar Azam, the team is gearing up for its inaugural training session in Dublin, scheduled for tomorrow.
The much-anticipated clash against Ireland in the first T20I is slated for May 10th, promising an exciting start to the series.
Iftikhar Ahmed, a prominent all-rounder for Pakistan, recently showered praise on Babar Azam, hailing him as the preeminent batsman in the global cricket arena.
Addressing the media in Lahore, Ahmed articulated the team’s ambition of clinching the forthcoming T20 World Cup, stressing that their focus is on claiming the ultimate prize rather than targeting specific opponents like India or Canada.
Confident in Pakistan’s capabilities, Ahmed asserted that there are no excuses for falling short of their World Cup aspirations, affirming the team’s belief in their ability to emerge victorious.
He singled out Babar Azam for special recognition, highlighting the captain’s adeptness in fulfilling his batting role within the team structure.
Ahmed’s remarks reflect a collective determination within the Pakistani camp to excel on the international stage and bring home glory in the upcoming tournament.
With the squad now assembled and preparations underway, anticipation is high for a successful campaign in Ireland and beyond, as Pakistan aims to assert its dominance in the cricketing world under the guidance of their talented captain, Babar Azam.
