Pakistan had the top starting pace trio a month ago ahead of ODI World Cup 2023. However, Naseem Shah’s unlucky shoulder injury has exposed some weaknesses in Pakistan’s seam assault. The third pacer for Pakistan is still up for dispute, but Shaheen Shah Afridi as well as Haris Rauf continue to be there to stop the onslaught.
The choice of vice-captain Shadab Khan, who is under extreme pressure to perform, is a major topic of discussion. The anticipation to take wickets on turning surfaces is quite high with the ODI World Cup 2023 taking place in sub-continental conditions.
