T20 World Cup 2021 Pakistan Player List: Announcement of Pakistan team for ICC T20 World Cup 2021

 

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has recently announced its team for the ICC T20 World Cup 2021. Apart from the 15-man team, Pakistan has also selected three reserve players. All these deserving players are going to play their best. In view of the corona virus epidemic, three reserve players have also been selected.

Surprisingly, Shoaib Malik is not a part of this team. While he is a great player of Pakistan.

 Babar Azam will be the captain of the Pakistan team in the T20 World Cup, while Shadab Khan has been selected by the Pakistan Cricket Board as the vice-captain. Both these captains are well known for their roles.

 Pakistan team captain Babar Azam wanted legendary all-rounder Shoaib Malik in the team, but the selectors have not selected him for the T20 World Cup. Due to which the captain of the Pakistan team, Babar Azam, was also somewhat sad.

 However, another veteran all-rounder Mohammad Hafeez has been selected in this team. Shoaib Malik and Hafeez had already announced that they are going to retire after the T20 World Cup 2021, but now it looks like Malik may retire soon.

For the first time in the history of Pakistan cricket, Pakistan team will play T20 World Cup without Shoaib Malik.

 Shoaib Malik has been a part of Pakistan's team every time in this tournament which started from the year 2007, but now in this new decade he has not been selected in the team. Even in the ODI World Cup 2019 played in England, he could play less. Maybe no name in Pakistan's 15-man squad selected by the selectors for the T20 World Cup 2021 is not surprising.

 There are some players in the Pakistan cricket team who do not yet have that much experience in international cricket, but still the selectors have reposed their faith in them, including names like Azam Khan, Mohammad Wasim Jr and Usman Qadir, who have so far scored a dozen. Haven't even played T20 International matches.
