Pakistan faced a disappointing run in the ODI World Cup 2023, winning only three out of nine games and exiting the tournament in the group stages. The aftermath saw a significant shift in leadership as Babar Azam stepped down as the all-format captain. Shaheen Shah Afridi took the reins for T20s, while Shan Masood assumed the role of the Test captain.
Despite the ODI setback, Pakistan’s T20 performance has been a shining beacon in recent years. Having reached the T20 World Cup semi-finals in 2021 and the final in 2022, the team gears up for another shot at glory in the upcoming 2024 edition set to take place in the Caribbean and the USA in June.
Addressing the team’s prospects, star opener Fakhar Zaman expressed confidence in their T20 lineup, stating, “We have a very strong (T20I) team. I pray that we don’t suffer from any injuries.” Zaman emphasized his primary goal: securing victory in the T20 World Cup, with a personal commitment to playing a pivotal role in achieving this milestone.
Fakhar Zaman, known for his aggressive style at the top of the order, has been a crucial asset to the Pakistani cricket team. Born on April 10, 1990, in Mardan, Pakistan, Zaman made his mark with a memorable innings in the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy final, scoring a breathtaking 114 runs against India. His aggressive approach, coupled with a penchant for big knocks, has earned him a reputation as one of Pakistan’s most dynamic and impactful openers.
Fakhar said: “We have the T20 World Cup coming up this year. We have a very strong (T20I) team. I pray that we don’t suffer from any injuries. My main goal is for the Pakistan team to win the T20 World Cup and for me to play an important part in that.”
Zaman’s commitment to the team’s success is evident not only in his words but also in his consistent performances. As the T20 World Cup 2024 approaches, all eyes will be on Fakhar Zaman, eagerly anticipating the explosive cricket that has become synonymous with his name. Pakistan’s hopes for T20 glory rest on the shoulders of players like Zaman, who are ready to make their mark on the international stage once again.
