The league round of Pakistan Super League 2020 culminated yesterday with Multan Sultans, Karachi Kings, Lahore Qalandars and Peshawar Zalmi emerging as the top four teams of the competition. The semifinals will get underway soon and the fans are highly excited for the same. Just like IPL has helped India become a top team in international, Pakistan Cricket Board would have set the same targets in PSL.

The T20 World Cup 2020 is set to happen later this year and the No. 1 T20I team, Pakistan will look to win its win first ICC T20 World Cup trophy since 2009. Pakistan has a lot of talented players in its squad however, the team’s recent performances have not been up to the mark. They still need a few more T20 specialists in their team and there are several performers of PSL 2020 who can earn a place in Pakistan’s T20 World Cup squad.

Here are the five players:

The star batsman of Multan Sultans, Shan Masood has never played a T20 international match for Pakistan. The 30-year-old player from Kuwait has represented Pakistan in Tests and ODIs with his last international appearance for the Men in Green being in the ICC World Test Championship match against Bangladesh.

Given how he has performed in PSL 2020 thus far, the selectors will have an eye on him and will look to give him a few chances in the T20I team ahead of the World Cup. Masood has played a key role in Multan’s success this year.

He was the team’s top scorer in the first round with 253 runs in 8 innings. Masood recorded one 50+ score with the bat but his consistency helped Multan top the points table.
