Akhtar tweeted, ‘Whoever thought that the World Cup promo would be complete without the crucial appearance of Pakistan and Babar Azam has really presented himself as a joke. Come on guys, the time has come to grow up a bit. Much has been said about the participation of the Pakistan team in this year’s ODI World Cup. Many things have come to the fore especially during the BCCI vs PCB deadlock regarding the schedule of Asia Cup 2023. Although the Pakistan Board has signed an agreement on its participation in the World Cup, some stakeholders in Pakistan are making conflicting statements on the subject.
Pakistan’s first match on October 6
Nevertheless, the Pakistan team is expected to come to India for the World Cup, whose first match is to be held against the Netherlands on 06 October. This will be the first time after the 2011 World Cup that the matches of this mega event will be held in India. While there is already a lot of pressure on the Indian team to perform on the biggest stage and end the arduous wait for an ICC title, the home event will put huge expectations on the shoulders of Rohit Sharma and Co. Some star players of Team India have recovered from injury and the hopes of their return have increased.
