Pakistan Begins T20 World Cup 2024 Campaign Against USA Without Imad Wasim
According to the details the national team carried out a robust training session to finalize their preparations for the mega event.
The players participated in several fielding drills alongside a prolonged net session.
The Babar Azam-led side will kick off their T20 World Cup 2024 campaign against co-host USA at Grand Prairie Stadium here today.
For the unversed former champions, Pakistan will miss the services of all-rounder Imad Wasim who has been ruled out of the fixture as he is suffering from a side strain injury due to which he also missed the fourth T20 against England in the recently concluded series.
Babar Azam confirmed Wasim’s unavailability during a media interaction here on Tuesday
Imad Wasim is suffering from a side strain which means he won’t be able to play in our opening match said Azam.
The skipper shared that the medical panel has advised against playing Wasim as a precaution so he can be available for the remaining matches in the mega event.
Following the USA clash the Green Shirts will face arch-rivals India in a blockbuster clash on June 9 at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York.
The 2009 champions will then take on Canada on June 11 before locking horns with Ireland in their last group-stage fixture on June 16.
