Pakistan ace pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi is gearing up for the T20 World Cup in Australia. The pacer had sustained an injury and thus missed the 2022 Asia Cup before also missing out on the seven-match home T20I series against England that his side won 4-3. Afridi's last appearance for Pakistan came in July this year but his presence in the T20 mega event will definitely boost the morale of the team. Pakistan's former pacer Mohammad Sami feels that the team was lacking a "strike bowler" in the absence of Shaheen.
Former Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik said that he has no problem with anyone, despite being overlooked for the upcoming T20 World Cup in Australia. Malik played an integral part in Pakistan's excellent run in the T20 World Cup last year, which ended with a defeat in the semi-final to eventual champions Australia. His exclusion from the T20 World Cup squad has been one of the talking points, especially with Pakistan's current middle-order under the scanner. However, Malik said he has no problem with anyone while backing the current squad.
Pakistan defuse the hype that surrounds a contest between the bitter neighbours, rival captains Rohit Sharma and Babar Azam said on Saturday. Bilateral cricket between the arch-rivals remains suspended, thanks to their soured political relation, and emotions run high on both sides of the border whenever they clash in multi-team tournaments. Excitement is already building for the October 23 blockbuster between the former champions in Melbourne but India captain Rohit sought to downplay the hype around one of cricket's greatest rivalries.

The T20 World Cup in Australia will be starting on Sunday with Sri Lanka squaring off against Namibia. However, the Super 12 stage will resume on October 22 with the match between New Zealand and Australia. However, all eyes are on the high-voltage clash between India and Pakistan that will be played on October 23 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. On Saturday, the ICC organised a Captains' Day where all 16 skippers of the participating teams engaged with the media.
The Pakistan Cricket Board shared a heartwarming video on social media in which the country's cricket team skipper Babar Azam and his fellow opener Mohammad Rizwan could be seen giving some advice to Bangladesh batter Litton Das. While Babar advised the Bangladeshi player to ignore the outside noise while playing for the country, Rizwan told him the importance of hard work. Meanwhile, Litton could be seen listening to the two Pakistan openers carefully during the chat. "Learning Never Stops," wrote PCB while sharing the video on Instagram.
The England cricket wrapped up a great T20I series against Australia on Friday with a 2-0 win. It was the final series for the two teams ahead of the 2022 T20 world Cup, which starts on Sunday. Ahead of the third T20I in Canberra, Michael Hussey, who is part of England's coaching set-up for the T20 World Cup, presented a special cap to Dawid Malan, who was playing his 50th T20I. The Australia great drew comparisons with Virat Kohli and Babar Azam in lauding Malan, who is currently No. 6 in ICC T20I rankings for batters.
