Pakistan captain Salman Ali Agha has shed light on how his team may shape their squad for next year’s ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, scheduled to be played in India and Sri Lanka.
Under Salman, the Men in Green have fared well, winning five bilateral series out of six, and also reaching the final of the Asia Cup, where they lost to India. That defeat prompted selectors to recall the likes of Babar Azam and Naseem Shah, and the move paid off in the team’s last two T20I assignments.
Discussing the team combination and players’ roles, Salman indicated that there would not be any major changes to the squad before the World Cup.
“I don’t think there will be any major changes before the World Cup; this will be the combination. All players have been given their roles, and we will move forward with these roles,” Salman said on a Pakistan Cricket Board podcast.
“Six matches are left before the T20 World Cup; we will have to play with consistency. We cannot make big changes in these six matches.”
Babar was handed the captaincy before last year’s T20 World Cup. However, this time Salman will lead the Men in Green in the mega event, and there will not be any last-minute changes.
“As of now, Pakistan will play the T20 World Cup under my captaincy. Senior players understand Sri Lankan pitches; the Sri Lanka series will benefit the new players before the World Cup,” Salman concluded.
