The 2024 edition of the Pakistan Super League came to an exciting end on March 18 as Shadab Khan?s Islamabad United defeated Mohammed Rizwan?s Multan Sultans by two wickets, and the game was a last-ball thriller. With PSL 2024 done and dusted, the focus now shifts to the preparations of Pakistan for the upcoming 2024 T20 World Cup in June.



Before the commencement of the 2024 T20 World Cup on June 2, the Pakistan national cricket team will play a total of 10 T20 international matches against England and New Zealand. The matches against these two world-class teams will prove to be really important in terms of finalizing the Pakistan 2024 T20 World Cup squad. The Shaheen have failed to lift the T20 World Cup trophy since their famous win in 2009, and they would be looking to go one step ahead this time around as they finished as the runners-up in 2022.



All the participating nations must submit their 15-member squad by the last week of April, as the tournament is scheduled to start in June. This article will provide you with information regarding Pakistan?s predicted 15-member squad for the upcoming 2024 T20 World Cup.



Pakistan?s last T20 World Cup campaign was full of ups and downs, as they lost against Zimbabwe and India in the group stage games, before going on to win three games on the trot, which allowed them to qualify for the semi-finals. They defeated Kane Williamson-led New Zealand in the semis but fell short against Jos Buttler?s England by five wickets in the final.



Since their defeat against England in the final of the 2022 T20 World Cup, the Shaheens have gone on to play 16 T20 International games, but the upcoming 10 T20 International matches will decide the fate of some players. The likes of Babar Azam, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Mohammed Rizwan, Shadab Khan and Naseem Shah are pretty much confirmed to board Pakistan?s flight to the West Indies and USA for this year's World Cup. Beyond these five names, not a lot of players are considered to have their spots fixed for the 2024 T20 World Cup but Fakhar Zaman and Iftikhar Ahmed are likely to be picked.



A lot of news has surrounded Pakistan Cricket these days as some players have decided to reverse their retirements. Spin bowling All - Rounder Imad Wasim, who had a pretty good PSL 2024 on March 23, announced his decision to come out of retirement and made himself available for Pakistan for the upcoming 2024 T20 World Cup. He retired from International Cricket in November 2023 but Shaheen Shah Afridi convinced him to come out of retirement.&nbsp;

?He (Shaheen Shah Afridi) called me after I decided to retire but I told that we will talk about this after the end of PSL 2024?, Imad Wasim said.



?I am delighted to announce that, following my meeting with Pakistan Cricket Board officials, I have reconsidered my decision to retire and am happy to declare my availability for Pakistan for the upcoming 2024 T20 World Cup.I would like to thank the Pakistan Cricket Board for reposing trust in me and I will give my best to bring success for my country. Pakistan comes first for me!? Imad Wasim wrote on his X handle.



Former Pakistan skipper Shahid Afridi wanted seamer Mohammad Amir to reverse his retirement decision and play in the upcoming 2024 T20 World Cup, and his wish has been granted as Mohammed Amir decided to come out of retirement on March 24 and made himself available for selection for the 2024 T20 World Cup.



?I still dream to play cricket for Pakistan. Some positive discussions took place between the Pakistan Cricket Board officials and myself, and they made me feel that Pakistan Cricket needs me and that I can still play cricket for Pakistan.? Amir wrote on his X handle.



Mohammed Amir was in fabulous form in the recently concluded PSL 2024. Given the form he is in and the experience he carries, it's almost certain that he will be picked in Pakistan?s 15-member squad for the 2024 T20 World Cup. It will be a joy for the Pakistani fans to witness the trio of Shaheen Shah Afridi, Mohammed Amir, and Naseem Shah handing the pace bowling unit of the Shaheens in the 2024 T20 World Cup.



The upcoming ten T20 international matches will be really important for the likes of Azam Khan, Saim Ayub, and Mohammed Haris as some good innings and a good wicket-taking spell can help these players secure their spots in the Pakistan World Cup squad.



Last month, the central contract of pacer Haris Rauf was terminated by the PCB due to his refusal to participate in Pakistan's test series against Australia since the test matches clashed with the matches of the Big Bash League. But on March 24th, the PCB reinstated the central contract of the 30-year-old, meaning that Rauf will be available for selection for the 2024 T20 World Cup.



Recently, a UAE cricketer of Pakistani origin, Usman Khan, was called up by the PCB for the training camp, which is currently ongoing and will end on April 8th.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/04/Usman-Khan.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-128943" /></figure>



For now, Usman Khan is registered as a United Arab Emirates cricketer, but it remains to be seen whether the PCB can make a deal with the UAE Cricket Board to allow Usman Khan to represent Pakistan in the 2024 T20 World Cup.



Recently, Babar Azam was reappointed as the white ball captain of Pakistan, replacing Shaheen Shah Afridi in that position. There's a lot of controversy regarding this news, but Pakistani fans would be hoping that under the leadership of Babar Azam, the Men in Green would hopefully go on to lift their second T20 World Cup trophy.

The mega event of this year, the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, is just two months away, as the tournament is slated to start from 2nd June. The tournament will be held in the West Indies and USA this time, and all the participating teams have begun their preparations for this year's mega event.?



The players of Pakistan are pretty pumped up as they are currently going through some rigorous training sessions with the Pakistan army and the training camp will take place till 8th April. Besides the training camp, Pakistan Cricket has been a hot topic in recent times as a lot of changes have been made in their Cricket team. Babar Azam has been reappointed as the T20i skipper following back to back defeats in the shortest format of the game. They lost the five match T20i series against New Zealand 4-1 under the captaincy of Shaheen Shah Afridi and some changes had to be made. Babar has been appointed as the skipper once again and this time around, the Shaheens would be looking to lift their second T20 World Cup Trophy under Babar's leadership.&nbsp;



Bowling All-Rounder Imad Wasim and seamer Mohammad Amir have decided to come out of retirement and have made themselves available for selection for the upcoming 2024 T20 World Cup. Despite Pakistan Cricket featuring constantly in the news, they have to find solutions to some problems and one of them is the opening combination.?



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Pakistan's best opening combination for the 2024 T20 World Cup</h2>



Under the captaincy of Shaheen Shah Afridi, the Shaheens altered their opening combination as Babar Azam was asked to bat at number three in-order to let Saim Ayub open the innings with Mohammad Rizwan. But the duo of Ayub and Rizwan failed miserably at the top as they failed to register even a single 50+ partnership in the five T20 international matches against New Zealand.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/04/Saim-Ayub.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-128978" /></figure>



The decision of going away from Babar and Rizwan as the opening duo hurt the Shaheens but now that Babar Azam is back as the skipper, fans will be given another opportunity to witness the most successful opening combination of Pakistan in T20i internationals in action at the 2024 T20 World Cup.&nbsp;



As openers in T20i cricket, the duo of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan have managed to score 2830 runs in 60 T20 International Games at an outstanding average of 48.79. Their highest opening stand in T20i Cricket is an unbeaten 202* runs against England in 2022. But, the strike rate of the duo has had a negative effect on the team, with both players opting to bat conservatively more often than not. But this time around, we may witness different versions of Babar and Rizwan, as the duo will be looking to put in their maximum efforts to help Pakistan lift their second T20 World Cup title.



Another opening combination which Pakistan may try is letting the duo of Saim Ayub and Babar Azam open the innings.The duo have played phenomenally well for Peshawar Zalmi as the openers and the highest opening stand between the two is 162 runs against Quetta Gladiators in 2023.&nbsp;



Saim Ayub is someone who likes to attack from the word go and with Saim at the other end attacking the bowlers, Babar can take his own sweet time to build his innings and settle down at the crease with ease. But it remains to be seen which opening combo we will get to witness in the upcoming 2024 T20 World Cup.&nbsp;

Who Will Open the Inning for Pakistan in T20 World Cup 2024? | Pakistan Opening Combinations

The Pakistan National Cricket team, under the leadership of reappointed skipper Babar Azam participated in some military drills during their two - week military training camp at Kakul?s Army School of Physical Training (ASPT). The PCB decided to organize a training session with the army of Pakistan and the players of the Men in Green were witnessed going through heavy workouts in a video posted by the PCB on their X handle. Pakistan Cricket has been all over the news since the last few weeks with Babar Azam getting reappointed as the white ball skipper and he has replaced Shaheen Shah Afridi in that position.

In order to get the Shaheens back on track for the 2024 T20 World Cup, the Pakistan Cricket Board decided to reappoint Babar Azam as the white ball captain of the Men in Green. In November 2023, following Pakistan's humiliating defeat against India in the 2023 ODI World Cup, Babar announced his decision to resign as the skipper from all formats of the game.



Following Babar Azam?s resignation as the skipper, the 29 year old was replaced by Shaheen Shah Afridi as the captain in T20 International games and Shan Masood in the longest format of the game.



The 1-4 series defeat against New Zealand in January 2024 was the only series the Shaheens played under the leadership of Shaheen Shah Afridi.



The 2009 T20 World Cup winners are set to lock horns against the Black Caps in a five match home T20i series in April. Then they will travel to Ireland for a two-match T20i series and then they will be playing four T20 International matches against England before the 2024 T20 World Cup.

PAK vs USA: Ahead of Pakistan's campaign in the ongoing ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024, renowned broadcaster and cricket expert Ian Bishop has raised a key concern for the Babar Azam-led Pakistan. Once again recalling the long-standing debate of the strike rate in the T20Is, Bishop targeted Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan and hoped that the two would change their approach in the T20 World Cup 2024.



Notably, the pair of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan have been quite successful for Pakistan for a number of years. The two have scored tons of runs for their teams and stand tall atop the list of T20I pairs to have scored the most number of runs in the format accounting for a massive 3154 runs collectively in 66 T20I innings. 



For a bit of perspective, the next best T20I pair is Paul Stirling and Andrew Bilbirnie from Ireland, who have jointly scored 2151 runs in 76 T20I innings.



Despite being so successful in amassing runs for their team, the two have been at the receiving end due to their poor strike rate. While skipper Babar Azam scores at a strike rate of 130, Mohammad Rizwan has recorded 128.17 as his strike rate in the T20I format.



Meanwhile, Pakistan tried Saim Ayub as opener alongside Mohammad Rizwan during the T20I series against New Zealand. He also opened the innings for Pakistan in the 2nd T20I against England, which saw him return with a sub-par 2 runs off 7 deliveries.



Talking about the potential of young players like Saim Ayub, Ian Bishop advocated their inclusion in the team with enough opportunities to set them up.



"If you're asking me what I want versus what will happen to Pakistan, I will tell you that I need and hope that down the road, I don't know if it's immediate but down the road guys like Saim Ayub, I know Mohammad Harris is not in the reckoning right now, but he's another young man. They've left back at home that I think until for T-20 cricket. But these guys are still very young and living the way," Bishop said in a conversation with Star Sports.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Pakistan's Babar Azam-Mohammad Rizwan needs to shift gears</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/03/Mohammad-Rizwan-Babar-Azam-1-1024x576.jpg" alt="PAK vs USA: No Babar Azam-Mohamamd Rizwan opening pair? Pakistan need change in batting approach | Ian Bishop's advice for Pakistan in T20 World Cup 2024" class="wp-image-128666" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image Source: SportsTak</figcaption></figure>



The renowned commentator further opened up on the template that Pakistan has been following which needs to be changed a bit to tackle the challenge of the tricky surfaces in the World Cups.



"So, the experience of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, they probably will go back there. But again, that's a template that needs to change with those two players who I think from what we've seen T 20 cricket going to even in a World Cup of challenging pitches, they need to shift another gear up in the way they approach their batting," Bishop added.



Pakistan will play their opening game in the ongoing <a href="https://www.icc-cricket.com/tournaments/t20cricketworldcup/index">T20 World Cup</a> 2024 against the United States on June 06. The Men in Green are slotted with the likes of India, USA, Ireland and Canada in Group A for the ongoing event.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has made significant changes to its central contracts policy for cricketers, opting to reduce the duration from three years to one year, while maintaining the current pay levels. These decisions were made during a meeting in Lahore, chaired by PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi, and attended by key figures including red-ball coach Jason Gillespie, white-ball coach Gary Kirsten, selectors Mohammad Yousuf and Asad Shafiq, and assistant coach Azhar Mahmood.



Key points from the meeting include:



Contract Duration: Central contracts will now be revised to 12-month periods. Players' fitness, behavior, and form will be assessed annually.



Fitness Tests: Mandatory fitness tests will be conducted every three months for centrally and domestically contracted players, supervised by the head coaches.



NOCs for Foreign Leagues: Players will need to obtain No Objection Certificates (NOCs) for participating in foreign leagues. The priority is to ensure their fitness and availability for the national team.



Domestic Cricket Participation: All players must participate in domestic cricket, with selectors monitoring this before making national team selections.



Disciplinary Measures: A zero-tolerance policy on disciplinary issues has been adopted. Instances of player groupings will incur strict penalties to maintain team unity and morale.



Grassroots Cricket: Plans to upgrade high-performance centers nationwide are in place, with new centers to be established in Islamabad and Peshawar. Gillespie and Kirsten will oversee these initiatives.



<ol></ol>



These changes come in the wake of Pakistan's disappointing performance in the T20 World Cup, where the team failed to advance to the Super Eight stage after losses to India and the USA. The PCB aims to overhaul its policies to improve the national team's performance and uphold high standards in both domestic and international cricket.

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Final Decision on Players Salary, 12-month Contracts Only

Former India wicket-keeper batter Dinesh Karthik is having a great time in the ongoing SA20 2025 for the Paarl Royals. The wicketkeeper batter played his best innings in the tournament on Thursday (30th January) against Joburg Super Kings at The Wanderers Stadium, in Johannesburg. 
Dinesh Karthik had a great outing with the bat for his team and helped his team post a fighting total on the board. The keeper-batter slammed a magnificent half-century and entertained the crowd both in South Africa as well as back home in India with his power-hitting. 
The highlight of Dinesh Karthik's innings was the three sixes that he hit on three balls against Wihan Lubbe in Paarl Royals' 13th over. He hit the first six on a free hit as he went down on the knees and hit a slog sweep into the deep mid-wicket stands for a massive six. 
On the next ball, Lubbe bowled a short ball, which Dinesh Karthik made full use of. He pulled the ball over deep square leg for his second consecutive six and put the spinner under pressure. Then on the next ball, the keeper-batter again was on his knees and played a slog sweep, which went over mid-wicket into the crowd. 
You can see the video at the end of the article: 
Dinesh Karthik played a sensational innings of 53 runs off 39 balls. He batted with a strike rate of over 135 and also slammed 4 fours and 3 sixes in his innings. Thanks to his effort with the bat, Paarl Royals posted a fighting total of 150 runs on the board. 
His effort, however, went in vain as Joburg Super Kings chased the target with 7 wickets in hand. Faf du Plessis was the star with the bat for his team as he played an innings of 87 runs off 55 balls. He batted with a strike rate of 158 and slammed 4 fours and 7 sixes to take his team home.

Himanshu Sangwan is currently the Lucifer of Indian fans, as the excitement that drew thousands of fans across the nation to the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi has been ruined by the sensational speedster. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virat_Kohli">Virat Kohli</a>, the heartthrob of millions of Indian cricket fans, was back after 15 years to play his first-ever Ranji Trophy match since 2010. The expectations were high as the crowd seemed pumped up and awaiting their superstar's return with the bat. 
The chance to watch their favourite cricketer came when Kohli came onto bat at No. 4 for Delhi after the dismissal of Yash Dhull. However, it was not the best of the days for the GOAT but a remarkable day in the career of a young and promising Himanshu Sangwan, who got the best of the batter when he rattled his stumps with a stellar seam-up delivery that swung back sharply at the King of Indian cricket. 
Right-arm medium-fast bowler Himanshu Sangwan is a 29-year-old cricketer who was born on September 2, 1995, in Delhi, India. The Delhi-born cricketer represents the Railways team in domestic cricket. Sangwan made his List A debut on September 27, 2019, in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, followed by his T20 debut on November 8, 2019, in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. He is an Indian cricketer who has made a name for himself in domestic cricket with his impressive bowling. 
He idolizes Australian fast-bowling legend Glenn McGrath and credits him for refining his bowling skills, particularly in seam positioning, as he claims to have learned all by observing the former great. As of now, Himanshu Sangwan has played a total of 23 first-class matches, 17 List-A matches, and 7 T20s and has taken 77, 21, and 5 wickets, respectively.
Sangwan’s story inspires all, while it also draws similarities to one of the finest Indian players, MS Dhoni. Belonging to a humble background, Sangwan started his career early and with loads of struggle aimed at what he gained today, dismissing one of the most decorated batters in the world. Before making his mark in cricket, Sangwan was employed as a ticket collector in Delhi, balancing his job while chasing his cricketing dreams. 
From cricket to a job in the Railways and then continuing his career with the Ranji Trophy, it has not been easy for the Delhi boy. However, as said by greats, hard work often pays off, and the rising star could soon be seen knocking on the doors of the most premium Indian tournament, the IPL. 
During the Ranji Trophy clash between Delhi and Railways at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, Himanshu Sangwan grabbed headlines as he bowled star batter Virat Kohli for just 6 runs, while he also took the wicket of set batter Sanat Sangwan.
The pace bowler celebrated the wicket aggressively, letting out a loud roar and sprinting towards his teammates, as they all knew what heights he could achieve with his high-ended game.

Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra has picked his Indian XI for the fourth IND vs ENG T20I. The penultimate game of the five-match T20I series between the teams will be taking place on Friday (31st January) at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune. 
Aakash Chopra has suggested two massive changes for India for the fourth IND vs ENG T20I. The cricketer-turned-commentator wants Arshdeep Singh to be back for the team in the place of Washington Sundar and also wants Shivam Dube to replace Dhruv Jurel in the team. 
Arshdeep Singh was rested from the last IND vs ENG T20I, while Dhurv Jurel played after Rinku Singh was ruled out of the 2nd and 3rd T20I due to a back injury. With the series on the line, India would be keen to win and take an unassailable lead of 3-1 in the series. 
Aakash Chopra wants India to continue with the same opening combination of Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson. The left-hander has been having a decent time with the bat while the keeper-batter has struggled to get going in the IND vs ENG series, bagging low scores in three games. 
At No.3, Chopra picked Tilak Varma, who played a match-winning knock for India in the third T20. Skipper Suryakumar Yadav will be batting at No.4 as per Chopra. The captain needs some runs under his belt as he has failed to get going. He would be keen to score runs for his team as well. 
Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dube are the two all-rounders picked by Aakash Chopra in his Indian XI for the fourth IND vs ENG T20I. The cricketer-turned-commentator wants three spinners in the team in Axar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi and Varun Chakravarthy, who has been India's best bowler in the series. 
For the pace department, Aakash Chopra wants both Mohammed Shami and Arshdeep Singh to play. In the last three T20Is, India has played with one frontline pacer and they would want to change that in the upcoming match.

Australia Cricket Team has faced a massive blow ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. T20I captain Mitchell Marsh has been ruled out the entire tournament with a back injury, and there are chances that he might miss the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. 
Mitchell Marsh has been struggling with his back ever since the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 started. The pacer looked in pain but continued playing for Australia before he was dropped from the team as Beau Webster replaced him for the last match at the Sydney Cricket Ground. 
Following that, Mitchell Marsh played a single game in the Big Bash League, and after that,t, he was rested from the last three matches of the BBL season to mentally and physically refresh ahead of the ICC  Champions Trophy 2025. However, it came as a big surprise that selectors ruled him out. 
<h2>Mitchell Marsh has been ruled out of the upcoming ICC Men's Champion's Trophy with ongoing lower back pain and dysfunction - Cricket Australia </h2>
Cricket Australia released the official statement, saying that the all-rounder has been ruled out with lower back pain and dysfunction. The statement added that they made the decision, keeping in mind the long-term plan, adding that they will be naming a replacement soon. 
"Mitchell Marsh has been ruled out of the upcoming ICC Men's Champion's Trophy with ongoing lower back pain and dysfunction. The National Selection Panel and Australian men's medical team ruled Marsh out of the tournament with the injury which has not responded sufficiently to rehabilitation. 
"His lower back pain flared in recent weeks, leading the NSP to make the longer-term decision for Marsh to complete a more extended period of rehabilitation. Marsh will now undergo a period of further rest and rehabilitation as part of his return-to-play plan. The NSP will meet to decide on a replacement for Marsh in due course." Statement from Cricket Australia read. 
Mitchell Marsh getting ruled out of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 comes as a huge blow. The all-rounder has been the key member of the team in the white-ball cricket. Since 2023, he has been sensational with the bat, as he has averaged 44.54 in ODIs with a strike rate of 109.13. Along with this, he also has been handy with the ball. 
Cricket Australia are also mulling over the fitness of captain Pat Cummins as well. The pacer has been struggling with the ankle injury and there is no clarity over him as well. If both Marsh and Cummins get ruled out, then there will be headaches for the management as they won't have a captaincy option. 
Steve Smith and Travis Head might be asked to take over the role then. Josh Inglis also is there as he recently led the team in home summer, both in T20Is and ODIs.
