ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 All Team Squads, Players List: The squads for the approaching ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 have begun to arrive as we head closer and closer to the opener of the marquee event in Ahmedabad. Cricket Australia (CA) has become the first side to announce its preliminary squad for the World Cup 2023.



As per the set deadlines by the Apex cricket board, all 10 participating teams must announce their squads by September 28. And that any replacement after the deadline would require special approval from the International Cricket Council (ICC).



The quadrennial World tournament is slated to be held in India from October 5 to November 19. Although the official schedule for the event has already been announced, there may be some changes to the original plans, which will be revealed in a day or two.



Reportedly, a few fixtures including the most sought IND vs PAK on October 15 in Ahmedabad and the England vs Pakistan game on November 12 in Kolkata's Eden Garden are likely to be preponed due to security concerns. However, the official statement from the BCCI is yet to come.



Meanwhile, let's talk about the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 All Team Squads, Players List. 



Australia has already named a strong 18-member squad that would compete in the World Cup 2023 in India later this year. The squad will also tour South Africa and India for the scheduled ODI fixtures.

Pakistan would not be very confident about their approach following their embarrassing performance in the recently held Asia Cup 2023. Babar Azam-led Pakistan were eliminated from the Super 4 stage as they suffered two consecutive blows against India and Sri Lanka.



Pakistan has always boasted of their bowling unit and rightly so. The likes of Shaheen Shah Afridi, Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf, and Shadab Khan form a potent bowling group. However, the recently held Asia Cup 2023 exposed their bowlers. Moreover, the Pakistani pacers suffered a couple of blows, which further dented their ICC World Cup 2023 aspirations.



Naseem Shah suffered an injury, Haris Rauf was ruled out for Pakistan's last game and Shaheen Shah Afridi is also reported to miss a couple of games in the World Cup 2023.



As far as the ICC World Cup 2023 Pakistan Squad is concerned, the PCB is yet to reveal the squad. With time running out, they will be revealing the 15-men player list quickly in the next few days.

Reportedly, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is expected to announce Pakistan's squad with a string of changes. There will be players who will miss out on the opportunity to feature in the ICC World Cup 2023, and a few surprise selections will be there.



The selection of Mohammad Haris, Usama Mir, Mohammad Wasim Jnr, and Faheem Ashraf is under darkness and they are almost certain to face the oust. Meanwhile, Hassan Ali is likely to mark his comeback. 



ICC World Cup 2023 Pakistan Squad Predicted: Babar Azam (c), Imam-ul-Haq, Fakhar Zaman, Iftikhar Ahmed, Abdulla Shafiq, Salman Ali Agha, Mohammad Nawaz, Saud Shakeel, Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Hassan Ali, Shadab Khan, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haris Rauf, Zaman Khan.

Cricket World Cup 2023 All-Teams Final Squad List | ICC World Cup 2023

cricket-world-cup-2023-all-teams-final-squad-list-icc-world-cup-2023

PAK vs NZ: The New Era of Pakistan Cricket is just about to commence under the leadership of Shaheen Shah Afridi as the Pakistan Cricket Team is heading to a T20I series against New Zealand. PCB has announced a strong 17-member squad for the five-match T20I series against New Zealand. Here we are with the complete details of Pakistan's T20I Squad for the Pakistan tour of New Zealand 2024.



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><nav><div><div class=""><a href="#pak-vs-nz-pakistan-t-20-i-squad">PAK vs NZ: Pakistan T20I Squad</a></div><div class=""><a href="#pak-vs-nz-schedule-of-pakistans-2024-tour-to-new-zealand">PAK vs NZ: Schedule of Pakistan?s 2024 tour to New Zealand</a></div></div></nav></div>



Pacer Shaheen Afridi will lead the T20I side for the first time after taking over from Babar Azam. This series will serve as the first series of Shaheen Shah as a full-time captain and also the preparation for the T20I World Cup 2024.



Young players Abbas Afridi, Saim Ayub, Haseebullah Khan, and Sahibzada Farhan are also part of the 17-man roster. The team also has Azam Khan, a destructive batter, in addition to players like Mohammad Rizwan, Babar Azam, and Fakhar Zaman.



Shadab Khan, the senior all-rounder who was the vice-captain of the T20I side in the Men's T20 World Cup last year, misses out due to injury.



"Shadab Khan?is a very important member of Pakistan T20 cricket. Unfortunately, he suffered an ankle injury (during the National T20) and requires 2 further weeks of rehab. After that, he'll be available to bowl," said Chief Selector Wahab Riaz



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="pak-vs-nz-pakistan-t-20-i-squad">PAK vs NZ: Pakistan T20I Squad</h2>



Shaheen Shah Afridi (c), Aamir Jamal, Abbas Afridi, Azam Khan (WK), Abrar Ahmed, Babar Azam, Fakhar Zaman, Haris Rauf, Haseebullah (WK), Iftikhar Ahmed, Mohammad Nawaz, Mohammad Rizwan (WK), Mohammad Wasim Jnr, Sahibzada Farhan, Saim Ayub, Usama Mir and Zaman Khan

</div></figure>



"Haseebullah played some impactful innings in the PSL in the middle-order and has performed a lot in white-ball cricket. He opens in domestic cricket but for team adjustment, we need to develop players for numbers 4-7," said Riaz.?



"Khushdil Shah, Asif Ali, Haider Ali, Shoaib Malik, Faheem Ashraf were given chances but they couldn't create that type of impact, so now we're in a building phase to see which players can fit into these positions," he added.

PAK vs NZ: Pakistan Squad Announced for New Zealand T20I Series

pak-vs-nz-pakistan-squad-announced-for-new-zealand-t20i-series

Pakistan vs New Zealand T20I Series: In the next few days, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is likely to announce Pakistan's squad for the five-match T20 international series against New Zealand, according to Geo News.&nbsp;The Pakistan National Squad is currently taking part in a military training camp with the Pakistan Military in Abbottabad's Kakul and the consultation process of finalizing the squad has begun. Captain Babar Azam and the national selectors are handling the consultation process



Earlier, the selectors and skipper Babar Azam held a meeting with Mohsin Naqvi - chairman of the PCB for the squad finalization process.&nbsp;



According to some news reports, since the series against New Zealand is going to be a home series for the Shaheens, a squad of 18 members is anticipated to be announced.



Pacer Haris Rauf suffered a shoulder injury in the recently concluded PSL 2024 and he has not been declared completely fit and is expected to continue with his rehabilitation. Meaning, the 30 year old will not play any part in the five-match series against New Zealand.&nbsp;



<pre class="wp-block-code"><code>Babar Azam (Captain), Mohammad Rizwan, Saim Ayub, Salman Ali Agha, Sahibzada Farhan, Iftikhar Ahmed, Shadab Khan, Azam Khan, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Usama Mir, Imad Wasim, Naseem Shah, Mohammad Amir, Usman Khan, Zaman Khan, Mohammad Wasim Jr, Abbas Afridi and Irfan Niazi are the players that are being considered for the five match series against New Zealand.&nbsp;</code></pre>

Fakhar Zaman recently suffered a hand injury so his fitness is being assessed as well.&nbsp;



According to some news reports, former skipper Shaheen Shah Afridi may miss some matches in the T20 International series against New Zealand, keeping in mind the workload policy of the PCB, which aims to reduce the workload of Pakistan's main seamers. Consultations are ongoing to protect the main fast bowlers from unnecessary burden on their bodies and provide a chance to the youngsters to shine



On the contrary, the seamers who are making their comebacks in the national squad have higher chances of featuring in Pakistan?s squad for the New Zealand series.&nbsp;



The Kiwis and the Shaheens will be playing the first three T20 international games at Rawalpindi's Pindi Cricket Stadium on 18th, 20th and 21st April. Then both the teams will travel to Lahore, where the remaining two T20i's will be played on April 25th and 27th April.&nbsp;

IND vs ENG 1st ODI: The ODI series between India and England, the two powerhouse teams, will commence on February 6 with the first ODI at Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur. As the two big guns prepare to take on each other, all eyes will be on the thrilling individual battle that can shape the series. 
This high-stakes encounter promises some intense face-offs between world-class players. With the likes of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma at the top order of India and Jos Buttler and Joe Root for England, the series is going to be tough for bowlers and the stakes are high for the contest. Let's take a closer look at the key player battles to watch out for in IND vs ENG 1st ODI:
<h2>Key Player Battles to Watch Out For in IND vs ENG 1st ODI</h2>
<h3>1- Rohit Sharma vs Jofra Archer</h3>
Indian skipper Rohit Sharma has been struggling with form in recent times, particularly against pace. His vulnerability around the off-stump was exposed during the Test series against Australia, where he repeatedly fell to deliveries in that channel. The trend continued in his only Ranji Trophy appearance, where he failed in both innings against similar deliveries. Additionally, short-pitched bowling is emerging as another concern, making him a prime target for England’s pace spearhead, Jofra Archer.
Archer has already enjoyed success against Rohit in the T20 format, dismissing him three times in just 29 deliveries while conceding only 23 runs. This translates to an impressive strike rate of under 10 balls per wicket against the Indian captain. However, Rohit is known for his ability to adapt quickly to different conditions, and he has proven his resilience time and again. If he can counter Archer’s pace and movement, this battle could be a defining one in the first ODI.
<h3>2- Virat Kohli vs Brydon Carse/Gus Atkinson</h3>
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67a2cfa1cda02.jpg" alt="">
With only one of Brydon Carse or Gus Atkinson likely to feature in England’s playing XI, whoever gets the nod will have a crucial role to play against Virat Kohli. Both pacers possess the skill set needed to challenge the modern master of white-ball cricket, especially around his well-documented weakness outside the off-stump. During the Test series against Australia, Kohli repeatedly fell to deliveries in the fifth-stump channel, edging behind—a vulnerability that Atkinson and Carse have the accuracy to exploit.
Unlike express pacers like Jofra Archer and Mark Wood, who rely on raw speed, Atkinson and Carse focus more on control and precision. This makes them an even bigger threat to Kohli early in his innings, as they can keep him guessing with disciplined lines. While there aren’t many head-to-head statistics available for this contest, the impact of this battle could be significant in shaping the match’s outcome.
<h3>3- Jos Buttler vs Mohammed Shami</h3>
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67a2cfa7148b9.jpg" alt="">
Jos Buttler, one of England’s most recognized cricketers in India, has been in fine form recently. A well-rounded and technically sound batter, he has very few weaknesses that bowlers have successfully exploited. However, if there is one bowler who could trouble him, it is India’s seasoned pacer, Mohammed Shami.
Shami holds a statistical edge over Buttler in ODIs, having dismissed him five times in just 67 deliveries. While Buttler has managed to score 57 runs off those balls, Shami’s ability to generate movement and maintain a probing line makes him a serious threat. With his knack for producing sharp seam movement and late swing, Shami will look to unsettle Buttler early and continue his dominance in this intriguing contest.
4- Joe Root vs Axar Patel/Ravindra Jadeja
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67a2cfa35fdae.jpg" alt="">
England’s right-handed batting maestro, Joe Root, has historically struggled against Jasprit Bumrah, particularly in Indian conditions. However, with Bumrah unavailable for this series, India may turn to spin as their primary weapon against him.
Despite being an exceptional player of spin, Root has shown vulnerability against left-arm off-spinners in the past. With no Bumrah to trouble him with pace and movement, India could look to exploit this weakness by deploying their spinners strategically. In the absence of their pace spearhead, setting a spin trap for Root might be India’s best bet to keep him in check.

The IND vs ENG 1st ODI will feature key battles, including Rohit vs Archer, Kohli vs Atkinson/Carse, Buttler vs Shami, and Root vs India’s spin trap. These matchups could shape the game’s outcome.

Crucial player battles—Rohit vs. Archer, Kohli vs. Atkinson/Carse, Buttler vs. Shami, and Root vs. spin—will define IND vs ENG 1st ODI.

Key Player Battles to Watch Out For in IND vs ENG 1st ODI Ft. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma

IND vs ENG: After the T20 series concluded, as Mohammed Shami returned to the shortest format for India after a huge span of absence from the format, the World Cup 2023 hero is back playing a crucial hand in the ODI series against England, which will begin on the 6th of February. 
 
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammed_Shami">Mohammed Shami </a>has had a decent T20 return with 3 wickets across 2 games played and is considered one of the greatest ODI bowlers for India of all time. Especially in the absence of legendary pacer Bumrah, Shami is the most experienced pacer to lead the Indian pace attack. 
 
Ever since the 2023 Cricket World Cup, Shami will play his first one-day international match, supposedly at the Vidarbha Stadium tomorrow. Ahead of the vital clash, Mohammed Shami will enter the field with 195 wickets to his name in the longest limited-overs format. 
 
<h2 dir="ltr">A Glimpse into Mohammed Shami’s Career </h2>

A peek into Mohammed Shami's stunning career despite injuries (Image Credit: X)
Shami, the Indian fast bowler, began his journey from the T20 Trophy starring for Bengal back in 2010, where he had one of the best debuts ever. Shami played for several franchises in the IPL the Delhi Daredevils, Punjab Kings, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolkata_Knight_Riders">Kolkata Knight Riders</a>, and Gujarat Titans, where he picked 127 career wickets in the franchise-level cricket tournament. 
 
Shami has played over three World Cups for India ever since his debut in 2013, as he has been India’s highest wicket-taker in the history of the CWC, playing over three editions in 2015, 2019 and 2023. With 450+ career wickets in the Men in Blue’s jersey, Shami, despite participation in several WTC and CWC games, could never be seen on the podium, though he won several individual records, the last being named the Player of the Tournament in the 2023 World Cup. 
 
<h2 dir="ltr">List of Bowlers fastest to reach 200 ODI wickets</h2>
 
Shami, who has appeared in 101 games and is only 5-wickets away from the remarkable 200 wicket mark, is like Australian modern-day legendary fast bowler <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitchell_Starc">Mitchell Starc</a>, who also has 200+ wickets and reached the milestone in just 102 matches and the 101 bowling innings.

In what promises to be an exciting and thrilling contest, Steve Smith-led Australia and Dhananjaya de Silva's Sri Lanka are set to lock horns versus each other in the second and the last match of the two-match Test-Series at the Galle International Stadium of Galle from the 6th of February onwards (Wednesday). 
In the opening encounter of the series, the Mighty Aussies secured a comfortable victory by an inning and 242 runs and this win helped them to take an unassailable lead of 1-0 in the two-match series. In such a situation, the Dhananjaya de Silva-led Sri Lanka would be looking to make a strong comeback by rectifying their mistakes in the second match. 
Ahead of this exciting contest, some thrilling player battles will be seen taking place between the star players of both teams which can go on to affect the outcome of the match. We will be taking a look at those player battles in this article
While the Kangaroos have already taken the lead in the series, the home side will have the chance to make a strong comeback by taking advantage of the home conditions on offer. It will be interesting to see which team finishes out on top in these player battles and which team succumbs to the pressure. 
<h2>Dinesh Chandimal versus Matthew Kuhnemann</h2>
Australia's left-arm orthodox spinner Matthew Kuhnemann failed to create an impact with the ball in the first ball, ending the match with 0 scalps to his name but he can trouble Sri Lankan batters on the spinning track of Galle. 
This will be especially very challenging for experienced wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Chandimal. He is a good player of spin, has a good record against them and also he knows the conditions of Galle quite well but the variations of Kuhnemann can trouble him in the second Test-Match.
<h2>Prabhat Jayasuriya versus Usman Khawaja</h2>
Australia's experienced opening batter Usman Khawaja is in great form with the bat and he also possesses' an excellent batting record on Subcontinental surfaces. While the Australian team management would be happy to see him performing, they might be a little worried in the 2nd match as experienced left-arm spinner Prabhat Jayasuriya can trouble him a lot. 
The 33-year-old has excellent variations up his sleeve and has knack of performing brilliantly in spin-friendly conditions and home conditions. He also got the better of the Southpaw in the opening encounter, dismissing him when he was batting on the score of 232 runs and Jayasuriya would be looking to get the better of Khawaja again in the final match of the series. 
<h2>Other notable player battles</h2>
Apart from the two above-mentioned player battles, the battle between elite Aussie off-spinner Nathan Lyon and promising Sri Lankan batter Kamindu Mendis will also be worth watching out for. 
Angelo Mathews will have to rely on his batting technique to tackle the speed and swing of Mitchell Starc and at the same time, Asitha Fernando has the ability to trouble the Australian duo of Josh Inglis and Marnus Labuschagne with his pace and bounce.

India Cricket Team skipper Rohit Sharma is all set to achieve a massive feat in ODI cricket. The opening batter is just 134 away in 19 innings from becoming the second-fastest batter to complete 11,000 runs in the history of 50-over cricket. 
Rohit Sharma currently has 10866 runs in the 257 innings in ODIs. If he achieves the feat in the next 19 innings, he will be joining Virat Kohli, who is the fastest to 11000 runs in ODIs. The batter achieved the feat in just 222 innings. He is also the fastest to 10000 runs. 
Currently, Sachin Tendulkar is the second fastest to 11000 runs in ODIs as he achieved the feat in 276 runs. With India having ODI season now, it is expected that Rohit Sharma will become the second fastest batter to score 11000 runs in the 50-over format. 
Rohit Sharma will have a great opportunity to achieve the feat in the upcoming ODI series against England. India will be locking horns with the Jos Buttler-led side in the three-match series, which will begin on Thursday (6th February) in Nagpur. 
<h2>Rohit Sharma will be captaining the India team in the ODI series against England</h2>
Rohit Sharma will be captaining the India team in the ODI series against England, and three games will be extremely important for him in the context of how things have turned against him. The batter has faced a lot of criticism for his poor outings of late as a batter as well as a skipper.
The series will be a great opportunity for him to make a comeback and silence all his critics in style. He has been a giant in the ODI format and with the way he has performed in the 50-over format, it won't be a surprise if he ends up scoring runs in the IND vs ENG ODI series. 
Rohit Sharma also has been named as the captain of India for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. With the kind of criticism that he has faced in the last few months, it will be a great opportunity for him to make a strong comeback and give a reply to criticism by winning the tournament for the team.
