England vs Pakistan: On the first day of a Test match, no side has ever attacked so furiously either with such style. 506 for four by England dispelled any fears of last summer that it was an anomaly and set a record even for this side. England amassed 506 runs on day one. They showed no signs of that bug that threatened to delay the start of the series.?



Four young batsmen batted like seasoned veterans at the top of their game as Brendon McCullum and Ben Stokes sat back and observed, displaying what can happen when you have the guts to stand by your beliefs and give players the support they need to play freely. Zak Crawley scored a brilliant hundred for confirmation, Ben Duckett scored one for atonement, Ollie Pope displayed maturity and consistency, and Harry Brook scored the finest of the bunch from 80 balls in just his second Test innings.



England tour of Pakistan 2022: England was touring Pakistan where England was to play 7 T20Is and 3 test matches. Before the start of the World Cup 2022, the 7 t20i series came to an end, which was won by England by a margin of 4-3. After the World Cup, England traveled to Pakistan to finish the three-test series.

<h2>England Vs Pakistan: 1st Test | Day one | Review</h2>



On December 1, the first of three Test matches kicked into gear at Rawalpindi Stadium (Rawalpindi). After winning the toss, Ben Stokes elected to bat first, and their decision was vindicated by their batsmen. Crawley scored 14 runs in the very first over of the test, which itself is a test record for England cricket.



Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett got the visitors off to a fantastic start, compiling century stands in 13.5 overs on a pitch that was almost nil for the bowlers. Crawley reached his century in 86 balls, and Duckett quickly followed. Ollie Pope reached the century, but Root was unsuccessful in his attempt to play an aggressive sweep. Harry Brook had the opportunity to become England's fastest Test hundred after hitting Saud Shakeel for six fours in a single over, but he slowed down in the 90s and fell short of the record. He scored a hundred today, becoming the fourth England batsman to do so, and he did it in just 80 balls. Stokes rushed into T10 mode and quickly reached 34 off 15 balls. Light came to Pakistan's rescue to end the misery of the day.

On the first day of a Test match on Thursday, England became the first side to score 500 runs, crushing Pakistan in Rawalpindi. At the end of the play, the tourists had posted a score of 506-4 thanks to the hundreds of four English batsmen. Australia scored 494 runs against South Africa in Sydney in 1910, breaking the previous record for the opening day of a test match.



Only four other times, three by England and one by Sri Lanka, have more than 500 runs been scored in a single day, but never on the first day of a Test. In a 1936 test match against India, England amassed a score of 588 to set the record.

No other England opener has scored a century faster than Crawley's in 86 balls. England's 174 without a wicket before lunch was their highest score in the first Test season and the record books don't tell us that 6.74 an over is the best ever, but it must have been a great performance to beat.

England vs Pakistan | First Test | Day 2: At the end of the second day of the match, Pakistan made comeback in the game. If the first day was entirely for the British, then the second day was totally in Pakistan's favor. Pakistan's bowling, which was heavily stomped on the first day of the Test match, bowled England out in the first session of the second day.



?On the second day of their match in Rawalpindi, Pakistan's openers Imam-ul-Haq and Abdullah Shafique summoned their energy and shinnied towards England's mammoth first-innings total. In the ongoing Test, Imam and Shafique put up a strong opening stand for Pakistan, and concluded Day 2 at 181/0 and still 476 runs behind England.

<h2>England Vs Pakistan: 1st Test | Day 2 | Review</h2>



Resuming action on 506-4, England batted with a no-holds-barred approach and went on to score their greatest total ever against Pakistan. On his path to an 18-ball 41, captain Ben Stokes casually stepped out to hit the second ball of the day over bowler Naseem Shah's head for a six. Stokes looked to continue where he left off the previous day, but Naseem Shah dismissed him in the first ball of the second day.

On Thursday, the 23-year-old Harry Brook, who smacked six fours in a Saud Shakeel's over, personified England's incredibly exciting style of cricket by extracting 27 runs from a Zahid Mahmood over. Leg spinner Zahid got 4 wickets while conceding 235 runs, the most of any test debutant. As Brook's 153 off 116 balls, which included five sixes and 19 fours, was eventually ended by Naseem, England added 151 runs to their overnight total before being all out.

PAK vs NZ 2nd ODI: New Zealand and Pakistan are engaged in a 5-match bilateral ODI series. Pakistan won the series opener on 27 April, crushing New Zealand by 5 wickets. The series is 1-0 after the 1st ODI and both the teams are all set to battle in the 2nd ODI at the same venue Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. Here, in this article, we discuss PAK vs NZ 2nd ODI Dream11 Prediction, Pitch Report, Strongest Playing XI, and More.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="pak-vs-nz-1st-odi-summary">PAK vs NZ 1st ODI summary</h2>



Pakistan won the game in the end, but they made it far more challenging than it should have been. Winning the toss, Babar Azam opted to bowl first. <a href="https://twitter.com/BLACKCAPS" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NZ</a> displayed good batting skills facing one of the finest bowling units in the world cricket. Will Young's 86 and Daryl Mitchell's 113 helped the New Zealand team put in a respectable total of 228 in 50 overs with the loss of 7 wickets.



The game was well-set by the openers, who put on an opening stand of 124 runs while chasing the 289 mark. The deck was flat, the hard new ball was coming in nicely, and Fakhar Zaman and Imam took maximum advantage of the conditions. Another 90-run partnership between skipper Babar and Fakhar Zaman almost drove the home team to the doorsteps of victory. Few wickets for the Blackcaps bowlers towards the end but wasn't enough to grab the win. 



Now, with the first win in the series, the home side will be much more confident than before and they will try to keep their momentum on for the 2nd ODI. Down below is the PAK vs NZ 2nd ODI Dream11 Prediction, Pitch Report, Strongest Playing XI, and More

PAK vs NZ: There's some bad news for the Pakistan National Cricket Team fans as the first three games of the five-match T20i series against New Zealand might face some rain interruption in the city of Rawalpindi. The first three T20 International matches of the series are going to be played at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium (RCS), and a high amount of rainfall is expected to arrive in the current week.?



According to the reports of The Weather Channel, there's an 80% chance of rain on 18th April, the day when the first T20 International will take place. The second T20 International is also under the threat of getting washed out as the chance of rainfall on 20th April is 65%.



However, the third T20I game will most probably not face any rain interruption, as the chance of rain is just 21% and fans will get the chance to enjoy the majority part of the third T20i. But, the same cannot be said for the first two games.



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



The training session of the Babar Azam-led team got postponed due to constant rainfall in the city of Rawalpindi. The Shaheens and the Kiwis are likely to participate in a training session today if the weather is clear.



The Black Caps arrived in Islamabad on 14th April, Sunday while the home team recently assembled in the country's&nbsp; Federal Capital post the conclusion of the Ramzan Eid holidays.



Post the conclusion of the first three T20i games at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, the action will shift to the city of Lahore, where the remaining two matches are scheduled to take place on the 25th and 27th of April. All the five T20i games will start at 7:30 pm IST.

(22 AUG) PAK vs BAN Day 2: Pakistan vs Bangladesh 1st Test commenced yesterday and after half of the day getting dissolved due to the wet outfield, the game is well poised at this stage. This post reads PAK vs BAN Day 2 Rawalpindi Weather Forecast, Rain Prediction, and Pitch Report.



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#pak-vs-ban-day-2-rawalpindi-weather-forecast-rain-prediction">PAK vs BAN Day 2 Rawalpindi Weather Forecast, Rain Prediction</a></li><li class=""><a href="#pak-vs-ban-day-2-rawalpindi-pitch-report">PAK vs BAN Day 2 Rawalpindi Pitch Report</a></li></ul></nav></div>



The Bangladesh Tour of Pakistan 2024 features a two-match Test series, with both fixtures scheduled at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium in northern Pakistan. The series kicked off yesterday, with Shan Masood's Pakistan and Najmul Hossain Shanto's Bangladesh facing each other, both fielding full-strength squads.



It was raining early in the morning at Rawalpindi. The outfield was wet at the scheduled time to start the match so the match officials delayed the toss. The coin was flipped at 2:00 PM and Shanto made the right call. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/08/BAN-vs-PAK.jpg" alt="Rawalpindi Weather Forecast; PAK vs BAN Day 2 Rain Prediction, Pitch Report" class="wp-image-146053" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Bangladesh got early success (Image- PCB)</figcaption></figure>



Pakistan were invited to bat first, and Bangladesh made an early impact. Hasan Mahmud struck first, dismissing Abdullah Shafique with just 3 runs on the board. Shortly after, Shoriful Islam removed Shan Masood with a controversial caught-behind decision.



Shoriful Islam continued his impressive spell by dismissing Babar Azam for a duck in his next over, leaving Pakistan reeling at 16 for 3. However, Saud Shakeel and Saim Ayub built a resilient partnership, steering Pakistan towards a recovery.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/08/SHAKEEL.jpg" alt="Rawalpindi Weather Forecast; PAK vs BAN Day 2 Rain Prediction, Pitch Report" class="wp-image-146052" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Shakeel and Ayub (Image-PCB)</figcaption></figure>



Saud Shakeel and Saim Ayub added 98 runs together before Ayub, having reached 56 individually, lost his focus and gave away his wicket just after the drinks break. Mohammad Rizwan then joined Shakeel, and the pair ensured there was no further damage during the extended half-hour of play.



At stumps, Pakistan had posted 158 runs for the loss of four wickets. However, with some green tinges still visible on the surface, batting on Day 2 could present significant challenges. Now, let's take a look at the PAK vs BAN Day 2 Rawalpindi Weather Forecast, Rain Prediction, and Pitch Report:



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="pak-vs-ban-day-2-rawalpindi-weather-forecast-rain-prediction">PAK vs BAN Day 2 Rawalpindi Weather Forecast, Rain Prediction</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/08/weather-rawalpindi.png" alt="Rawalpindi Weather Forecast; PAK vs BAN Day 2 Rain Prediction, Pitch Report" class="wp-image-146051" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Rawalpindi Weather Report on 22 AUG (<a href="https://weather.com/en-IN/weather/hourbyhour/l/b121dd9288f1f558c1ce73dfe2278c664b8a859a5e4efb143e910a8e9a83061f">weather.com</a>)</figcaption></figure>



The weather in Rawalpindi today is ideal for cricket. The groundsmen have had ample time to prepare the outfield, ensuring smooth play throughout the day. According to Weather.com, Rawalpindi will experience a sunny and humid day on August 22.



There is virtually no chance of rain today, allowing uninterrupted play on Day 2 of the PAK vs BAN first Test. A gentle breeze, with speeds around 13 KMPH, will blow towards the southwest.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="pak-vs-ban-day-2-rawalpindi-pitch-report">PAK vs BAN Day 2 Rawalpindi Pitch Report</h2>



The pitch in Rawalpindi has a slight green tint, suggesting there will be swing on offer. Yesterday, the bowlers extracted ample movement from the surface, and a similar challenge is expected this morning. Pakistan's batters will likely face some tough questions from the Bangladeshi bowlers early on.



However, the pitch tends to flatten out with careful play during the first hour, providing opportunities for a more stable innings. Pakistan will undoubtedly have a strategy in place to build a prolonged innings today.

(03 Sept) PAK vs BAN 2nd Test DAY 5: The ongoing 2nd Test between Pakistan and Bangladesh is in jeopardy due to the threat of rain on the final day. The weather forecast for Rawalpindi predicts rain on September 3, which poses a challenge for both teams.

Pakistan remains cautiously optimistic despite Bangladesh being in a favorable position in the Test match. Bangladesh requires only 143 runs to win the series and has all 10 wickets in hand. They will be hoping for the rain to clear as soon as possible, but that alone won't guarantee a resumption of play. 



Historically, it has taken a considerable amount of time to make the Rawalpindi Stadium fit for play after rain, so the grounds staff will need to be vigilant and ready to act swiftly if the weather improves.

The Poor Run Of Babar Azam Continues Leaving Pakistan Critical | PAK vs BAN 2nd Test" class="wp-image-146455" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Babar Failed Again! (Getty Images) </figcaption></figure>



The match began with Bangladesh winning the toss and opting to field first, inviting Pakistan to bat. Pakistan did not have a strong start, but steady innings from Saim Ayub and Shan Masood helped stabilize their innings. A well-played fifty by Agha Salman lower down the order guided Pakistan to a respectable first-innings total of 274.



While Pakistan's batting was average, their bowling performance was exceptional. In the absence of key bowlers Naseem Shah and Shaheen Afridi, Khurram Shahzad and Mir Hamza stepped up, reducing Bangladesh to 26 for 6. However, experienced campaigners Litton Das and Mehidy Hasan Miraz mounted a crucial recovery for Bangladesh. Thanks to their outstanding efforts, Bangladesh finished just 12 runs short of Pakistan's total in the first innings.

Watching Litton Das to bat on that surface seemed like the surface was very handy for batting but no, it wasn't that good. Pakistan lost their two wickets in the span of just 3.4 overs at the end of DAY 3. 



Pakistan's performance in the second innings was below par, following an average showing in the first innings. The top six Pakistani batters managed to score only 64 runs combined. However, a determined effort from Mohammad Rizwan and Agha Salman helped them set a target of 184 for Bangladesh to chase.

When Bangladesh came out to bat, they attacked the Pakistani bowlers from the outset, quickly reaching 42 runs in just 7 overs without losing a wicket. It was at that moment when the two umpires conferred and decided that it was too dark to continue. The outcome of the match now hinges on the weather conditions in Rawalpindi today.



Let's take a look at the Rawalpindi Weather Forecast, Expected Rain Interruption, and Full Weather Report of Rawalpindi Today:



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="pak-vs-ban-day-5-rawalpindi-weather-forecast">PAK vs BAN DAY 5: Rawalpindi Weather Forecast</h2>



The PAK vs BAN second Test is being played at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Rawalpindi. It is been raining since the evening in Rawalpindi which implies that the ground will be wet and too much work for the groundsmen.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/09/Screenshot-2024-09-03-072541.jpg" alt="PAK vs BAN DAY 5: Rawalpindi Weather Forecast" class="wp-image-146588" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Rawalpindi Weather Forecast (<a href="https://weather.com/en-IN/weather/hourbyhour/l/b121dd9288f1f558c1ce73dfe2278c664b8a859a5e4efb143e910a8e9a83061f">weather.com</a>)</figcaption></figure>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="rawalpindi-weather-forecast-and-rain-prediction">Rawalpindi Weather Forecast and Rain Prediction</h2>



There is quite a high chance of rain during the first session. Over 90% rain chances till 11 AM and then the rain might reduce. It is expected that Rawalpindi weather may clear around 3 PM and then there are chances of some cricket action in the last session.

The Cricket Governing Body of Pakistan, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is anticipated to unveil the complete-schedule for the forthcoming 3-match Test-Series versus England within the next two or three days.



As the much awaited Pakistan vs England test series gets closer, the visitors are facing some issues as their skipper Ben Stokes is still battling his injury issues.



Ben Stokes suffered a hamstring-injury in the month of August but England have still gone ahead with the decision of including him in the squad for the tour of Pakistan despite the 33-year old not getting the complete fitness clearance.



The Three Lions skipper is set to undergo fitness scans next-week to evaluate his match readiness for the first test-match, which is set to start from the 7th of October onwards.



The PCB have decided to host the matches of the test series against England in the Multan International Cricket Stadium of Multan and Rawalpindi's Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, with the board planning to organise the first two test matches in the Multan International Cricket Stadium.



<figure class="wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/CallMeSheri1/status/1836418783327498482
</div></figure>



The decision of not allowing Karachi to host a test match is due to the construction-work going on in the stadium at present.



While the confirmed schedule of the three-match Test Series is not revealed yet, the intention of the Pakistan Cricket Board is to let the Green Shirts make full use of the favourable conditions in the Multan International Cricket Stadium by organising two test matches at that venue.



However, an alternate option of letting the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium play host to the first &amp; third test-matches of the series is also an option which the PCB can consider.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">England?s squad for the Test-series versus Pakistan</h3>



Gus Atkinson, Rehan Ahmed, Ben Stokes (Captain), Harry Brook, Shoaib Bashir, Jordan Cox, Brydon Carse, Josh Hull, Ben Duckett, Zak Crawley, Ollie Pope, Jack Leach, Joe Root, Matthew Potts, Olly Stone, Jamie Smith (WK) and Chris Woakes.

Prithvi Shaw did not find any takers as the Mumbai batter went unsold in the IPL 2025 auction. Prithvi, who had a base price of Rs 75 lakh in the auction, was released by Delhi Capitals but he did not attract any bids from the ten franchises.
Delhi Capitals co-owner Parth Jindal has said that Prithvi Shaw is misunderstood in many ways but needed a 'jolt' in the form of the IPL 2025 Auction snub. Shaw has been part of the Delhi franchise since returning as the U-19 World Cup winning captain in 2018 and was bought for 1.2 Crores. Ahead of the 2022 auction, the Mumbai batter was retained by DC for Rs. 7.5 Crore but the past few seasons hasn't been great for the 25-year-old.
Speaking to Sports Today, Jindal said that Shaw is a great kid but needed a jolt to get up from his slumber. The DC co-owner feels that Shaw needs to work hard, get back the love of the game and get disciplined. Jindal ended by saying he hopes the Mumbai batter can return back to his best form
Delhi has backed Prithvi Shaw a lot. DC had hoped that he is a powerplay player and would hit 6 boundaries in one over. And he did that too. He hit Shivam Mavi for 6 fours in an over. He had a lot of potential and DC backed him to the hilt. We always thought that if Shaw manages to score, we will win. And we gave him a lot of chances," Kaif told on Jio Cinema.

Prithvi got a lot of chances and teams have now finally moved on, and it is a matter of embarrassment that he did not get a bid for Rs 75 lakh. Maybe now, he finally goes back to basics. Someone like Sarfaraz Khan got into the national team by scoring lots and lots of runs," he concluded.
In the 79 matches he has played, Shaw has scored 1892 runs at an average of 23.95 and a strike-rate of 147.47. He also scored 14 fifties during this time.

Prithvi shaw is just 25 and has lot of cricket left inside him ,the thing he need that to focus on his fitness and batting weakness. 
If the things goes well, not the next year but shaw will probably get chance to play in IPL this year too,if any team needs replacement for player ,he might be a good to get that place.

The MI Emirates produced a clinical display with the bat and the ball, handing the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders a 28-run defeat at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in the Match 14 of International League T20 (ILT20) 2025 on Tuesday, January 21.
MI Emirates got off to a strong start when they were asked to bat first, with openers Muhammad Waseem (38) and Kusal Perera making a strong stand at the top. The Sri Lankan Perera was the first to leave for 23 soon before the powerplay ended, following a 42-run partnership between the two players. Tom Banton entered, and he and Waseem made sure the MI Emirates maintained the run rate.
Banton was out for nine around the halfway point of the innings, while Waseem was out for 38 shortly after. Kieron Pollard replaced skipper Nicholas Pooran, but the seasoned right-hander struggled to get going and was eventually sent out for five by Ali Khan. With just over 6 overs remaining, the score was at 102/4.
Following Dan Mousley's dismissal for six, Romario Shepherd joined his skipper for the innings' last stretch. Jason Holder made a solid 49, but Pooran, who was hitting it cleanly, was almost at his half-century before he fell.
<img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_870x_6790c540e2f01.jpg" alt="">
Shepherd was given more attention in the last few overs as a result. In order to end with an undefeated 38 from 13 deliveries, the powerful right-hander then moved through the gears and hammered three maximums and four boundaries. After slowing down for a few overs in the middle, the MI Emirates eventually reached 186/6.

In second inning with openers Kyle Mayers and Andries Gous attacking the MI Emirates bowlers, the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders got off to a fast start. Before Dan Mousley ran him out with a brilliant bit of fielding, Mayers, who hit three sixes, scored 22 off 14 deliveries.
 
The MI Emirates seized control after that, finishing a 39-run partnership in the fourth over in second inning.
Following Joe Clarke's dismissal by Akeal Hosein for three, Romario Shepherd took out Michael-Kyle Pepper for five and Alishan Sharafu for four. The Abu Dhabi Knight Riders were 56/4 at the conclusion of a thrilling Powerplay.
The Abu Dhabi Knight Riders were further put under pressure after Waqar Salamkheil dismissed Laurie Evans for seven and Zahoor Khan caught Gous in the deep for thirty-four. Hopes of a recovery were raised when Sunil Narine and Andre Russell were called to the middle and embarked on a half-century stand.
But Narine was caught at cover for 13 in the 18th over, and David Willey was dismissed by Fazalhaq Farooqi in the 19th. The MI Emirates won easily, and Russell, who was still undefeated at 37 from 23 deliveries, was unable to lead his team across the finish line.

players like Romario Shepherd and Nicholas Pooran, the MI Emirates were able to close the gap on the top team to just two points.
Alzarri Joseph and Shepherd each took two wickets to thwart the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders' chase, while four of the MI Emirates' bowlers were in excellent form that evening.
In the whole match Romario Shepherd was the centre of attraction for the crowd with his bowling and batting, although the show was lasser but effective for MI Emirates to build pressure on the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders.

IND vs ENG: Former Indian cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin has announced his playing XI for the first T20I against England. The match between the two teams is all set to take place on Wednesday (22nd January) at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
India and England will be locking horns with each other in the five-match T20I series. Both teams have a mixed combination of seniors and youngsters in the team, and with the way they have played of late, it's fair to say that it will be an exciting series to watch. 
Coming to the first T20I, Ravichandran Ashwin backed Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma to open the innings for the team. The duo has been doing a decent job together as an opener and would be hoping to carry on the same form in the upcoming first match. 
Sanju Samson was at his exceptional best in the T20Is last year as he slammed three tons. While on the other hand, Abhishek Sharma hasn't been able to maintain consistency. Hence the series will be extremely important for him with the bat. 
At No.3, Ravichandran Ashwin picked Tilak Varma. The left-hander oozed his class with the bat in the last series against South Africa. He batted at No.3 and slammed two back-to-back centuries. Skipper Suryakumar Yadav, as per Ashwin, will bat at No.4.
Hardik Pandya, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Axar Patel are the three all-rounders picked by Ravichandran Ashwin in his Indian XI for the first IND vs ENG T20I. They are expected to play a major role with the bat and ball. 
Rinku Singh also has been picked by Ravichandran Ashwin in his Indian XI for the first IND vs ENG team. He will be taking the role of finisher while there was no place for Ravi Bishnoi, who hard has put a foot wrong in his T20I career. Varun Chakravarthy will be there as per Ashwin. 
Mohammed Shami and Arshdeep Singh are the two fast bowlers picked by Ravichandran Ashwin for the first IND vs ENG XI. Shami will be making his comeback to the team after a year, while Arshdeep will be keen to make an impact.

Former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali talked about the delay in the squad of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 for the Pakistan team. He said that it might look like they are scared of announcing the team, but it seems that they don't know what to do. 
The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is around the corner and all the teams have named their squad for the tournament except the hosts Pakistan. The Men in Green are yet to announce the team even though the deadline of 12th January has already been surpassed by a long margin. 
India, Australia, England, South Africa, New Zealand, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan have all revealed their squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This has made many speculate about why Pakistan isn't announcing their squad for the tournament, which is less than one month away. 
There have been several reports that Pakistan will be announcing their squad for the tournament soon. They are awaiting the fitness of a few players, and hence, they will soon be naming the team. Some reports also have revealed the players who will be playing, but an official announcement is yet to come. 
<h2>Pakistan kya darr gaya jo abhi tak team announce nahi ki? Nahi dara nahi hai. Samajh nahi aa rahi hai - Basit Ali </h2>
Amid all this, former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali commented on the same, saying that no one knows what is happening. He speculated that they might be waiting for the fitness report on Saim Ayub. Speaking in a video posted on his YouTube channel, he explained: 
"Pakistan kya darr gaya jo abhi tak team announce nahi ki? Nahi dara nahi hai. Samajh nahi aa rahi hai -- karein to kya karein? (Is Pakistan scared to announce their squad? No, it isn't, just unsure what to do and what not). The biggest issue is whether Saim Ayub can return fit or not. It's still not clear." 
It remains to be seen when will Pakistan announce the squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The tournament is all set to take place from 19th February, with the final all set to be played on 9th March.
