New faces in the squad

Under the leadership of Babar Azam, the squad features five players who will be making their T20 World Cup debut. Abrar Ahmed, Azam Khan, Mohammad Abbas Afridi, Saim Ayub, and Usman Khan will play their maiden World Cup.

Conversely, the selection committee has left out eight players who were part of Pakistan’s squad for the 2022 edition of the tournament.

8 Players from the 2022 T20 World Cup who didn’t make the 2024 squad

Shan Masood: The current Test captain of Pakistan, Shan Masood failed to secure his spot in the T20 World Cup 2024 squad. He was the joint highest run-scorer for the Men in Green in the previous edition, scoring 175 runs in 7 matches. Despite that, Masood didn’t find his place in the squad for the 2024 season of T20 World Cup.

Asif Ali: Known for his powerful striking, Asif Ali, didn’t get enough chances to prove his mettle. He played a solitary game in the 2022 T20 World Cup, scoring just 1 run.

Haider Ali: Though, talented Haider Ali didn’t get enough opportunity in the T20 World Cup 2022, but whatever chances he got, he screwed it up. He only played a couple of game but scored only 2 runs.

Khushdil Shah: All-rounder Khushdil Shah didn’t get any opportunity in the T20 World Cup 2022. Though he did feature in the warm-up fixture against England but was dismissed for a duck by Sam Curran.

Mohammad Nawaz: All-rounder Mohammad Nawaz had a disappointing time in the 2022 T20 World Cup. He could only pick up three wickets from 7 matches and with the bat, Nawaz scored just 68 runs from 5 innings.

Mohammad Haris: The wicketkeeper-batter wasn’t not impressive for Pakistan in the last edition of the T20 World Cup. He averaged just 24.25 after scoring 97 runs in 4 games.

Mohammad Hasnain: Like Khusdil, Mohammad Hasnain too didn’t get any chance to showcase his skills in the previous edition of the mega event. He last played for Pakistan in 6th Match of the T20I Tri Series against Bangladesh in October 2022.

Mohammad Wasim Jr: The rising pace bowler Mohammad Wasim Jr had a decent time in the 2022 T20 World Cup. He took 8 wickets in 6 matches and was the 4th highest wicket taker for his side. Still, Wasim couldn’t make it to the T20 World Cup 2024 squad.
