Now all the teams have started preparations for the T20 World Cup 2024, which will start in a few days. Team Pakistan is no exception and is making every possible effort to win the title of the mega event. Recently, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) once again handed over the captaincy to Babar Azam and took many other major decisions. At the same time, now Babar Azam has taken a big decision in the interest of the team.

Babar will be seen in a new role

Pakistan captain Babar Azam will no longer be seen by fans in his old role in the mega event. Babar made it clear on Tuesday that some other batsmen will open the innings along with wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan in the T20 World Cup. And he will play at number three. The thing is that by bringing Babar at number three, the management wants to give both balance and depth in batting. There was a lot of discussion on this subject and then Babar took this big decision, while PCB has also made preparations to give a surprise gift to the captain.

Surprise gifts from the team will be very useful

At present PCB has made a special strategy. And under this, the Pakistani board is taking the services of experts or experienced players of the same country for major competitions organized in the respective country. And Pakistan Board is going to try the same policy in T20 World Cup also. Giving a surprise gift to captain Babar Azam, PCB has decided to make the great West Indies batsman Sir Viv Richards the mentor of the team in the World Cup. According to the report, talks with Viv Richards are almost complete and an official announcement will be made soon.

The Pakistan team will start its campaign in a mega event against the hosts America in Dallas on June 6, while Pakistan will not be able to play any practice match due to the 3-match T20 series against England.
