Cannot rule out Pakistan as contender to win ICC WC 2023, Wasim Akram

Former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram said that although the Indian squad is one of the favorites to win, Pakistan cannot be ruled out as a contender for the forthcoming ICC World Cup 2023, which is set to take place in India.

The bowling lineup of Pakistan, according to Akram, is among the greatest in the world, and their skipper Babar Azam is a fantastic player.

He also said, “Right now, Shaheen Afridi is at his best. He has twice guided his franchise to victory in the PSL. He is growing into a fairly good all-around player.”

“Then there is Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf. There is Hasnain, and the promising new fast bowler Ihsanullah is also in the team.”

Wasim stated that the side with a stronger bowling attack will win the World Cup because it is being held in India and the surfaces tend to be batter-friendly.
