I am specially excited as only one month is remaining from T20 world cup and these type of the matches are crucial for testing out which player is doing best and showing skills with the consistency so that we can have a better combination at the world cup squad. The competition is getting tight as specially at the bowler side we have a strong combination and the players need to struggle at their best and performance so that they get a chance as after the coming back of Mohammad Amir and imad waseem,the situation is getting so much tight that a tiny space is remaining and only those one will be selected who is performance is the best.

I would go for Mohammed Aamir, shaheen shah Afridi &Naseem Shah at the top priority and till place remains for a 4th choice which would be placed on the base of recent performance and over all contribution to the team. Also, the previous track record matters a lot as when you are in a world cup there is so much pressure that experience bowlers are preferred those can handle the pressure at this situation.

Mohammed Rizwan come back is needed as he is the best priority and as we have seen  the previous track record of their amazing partnership with Babar Azam which is a testament of their understanding and how their batting skills are polished when they play together. I believe that they will make a great partnership and indeed when you have a strong batting pair at the start, your performance is on another level.

one month  remains and players need to improve their performances, practice a lot as many teams have announce their  squad and I truly believe that this World Cup is going to be interesting as tough competition is really present and it would be really enjoyable to watch.🔥
