The 2022 T20 World Cup will take place in Australia, and with the tournament kicking off in a few days, we take a look at the full squad of Pakistan players!
The skipper of Pakistan has been in hot and cold form heading into the tournament. He will hope to win his first ICC tournament as Pakistan skipper.
The excellent all-rounder Shadab Khan picked 8 scalps in the Asia Cup averaging 14.13 with career-best figures of 4/8 coming in the match against Hong Kong.
Mohammad Rizwan was the highest run-getter in Asia Cup 2022 with 281 runs and this run in the T20Is at home against England — 316 runs.
Asif Ali will be Pakistan’s big-hitting batter. Although his batting average of 15.12 isn’t great, he has the ability to hit sixes at will.
Haider Ali who debuted in T20Is way back in 2020 doesn’t boast a good batting average but can play useful cameos. He will compete with Khushdil Shah for the middle-order spot.
Khushdil Shah has been a run machine in limited-overs cricket in Pakistan's domestic circuit. Shah is raw but can be an impactful player in T20Is.
Mohammad Hasnain broke out ahead of the 2019 World Cup but is yet to live up to his initial potential. In 26 T20Is, he has 25 wickets.
Mohammad Nawaz was the joint 3rd leading wicket-taker with Shadab Khan in the Asia Cup, with 8 scalps in 6 T20Is averaging 13.75 and a best of 3/5.
Another young Pakistan bowling all-rounder, Mohammad Wasim has played 18 T20Is for Pakistan, with 24 wickets under his belt.
Teenage pace sensation Naseem Shah made his T20I debut against India in the Asia Cup. He bagged the wickets of KL Rahul and Suryakumar Yadav.
The right-arm pacer emerged as the top wicket-taker for Pakistan in the recent T20I series against England with 8 wickets in 6 games.
Shaheen Afridi will join the national squad for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Australia 2022 in Brisbane as per schedule on Saturday, 15 October.
The leg-spinner is the son of one of Pakistan's best-known spinners, Abdul Qadir. In 23 T20I matches, he has taken 29 wickets.
