T20 World Cup 2021: Predicting Pakistan's squad for the tournament
Pakistan is a team full of talents, but who will play and who will miss the flight to UAE? Here is their predicted squad for the T20 World Cup.
4. Sohaib Maqsood
It seems almost unbelievable that this could be Maqsood’s third big ICC event but only his first since the 2015 World Cup. At the age of 34, he has been able to revive his career and make it to the Pakistan T20I side. The way he has come back into the national team is quite inspirational but his role is yet to be defined.
He is a power-hitter and can be seen mostly being used as a floater. He is someone who can come in at 25 for 3 and stabilize the situation or he can also come at 120 for 1 and bat in the fifth gear from the very word go. In the recent Pakistan Super League season, he scored 428 runs at an average of 47.55 and a strike rate of 156.77.
His ability to score runs fast is one of the reasons why he is a match-winner. He can take the game away from the opposition in a few overs. If he is able to find the boundaries on a regular basis during the World Cup, Pakistan can say that they have found their missing links in the jigsaw puzzle.
