The men’s team for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 was unveiled by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Friday. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced the men’s squad for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, and this has caused quite a stir in the cricket world. Due to several unexpected changes in the team, the selection has generated discussions and questions. People are interested in learning the justifications for these choices.
After Pakistan’s dismal showing in the Asia Cup 2023, former captains Misbah ul Haq and Mohammad Hafeez participated in the PCB’s Technical Committee and had a say in the team planning. Mohammad Hafeez’s decision to step down from his position is regrettable, and we still don’t know why. The PCB Management Committee Chairman, Zaka Ashraf, underlined the significance of evaluating the team’s performance at the Asia Cup.
He added that while Babar Azam and Inzamam-ul-Haq preferred a more traditional approach, both Misbah-ul-Haq and Mohammad Hafeez pushed for considerable reforms. In the end, the PCB made the choice to follow Babar Azam and Inzamam-ul-Haq’s recommendations after taking into account the bigger picture of the World Cup and the Pakistan cricket squad. Shadab Khan was selected by Babar Azam to serve as vice-captain based in part on his performance.
