Pakistan did not do well in the 2023 ODI World Cup. They will look to make amends in the upcoming 2024 T20 World Cup. They have a squad that can go all the way in the West Indies and the USA. On that note, here, we take a look at the list of five relations of former cricketers who will represent Pakistan in the 2024 T20 World Cup.
1) Babar Azam – Cousin of Kamran Akmal and Umar Akmal
Babar Azam is one of the relations of former cricketers who will represent Pakistan in the 2024 T20 World Cup. A few weeks ago, Babar was renamed as the captain of the side. It is a good chance for him to make sure that he deserves this opportunity.
2) Shaheen Afridi – Son-in-law of Shahid Afridi
Shaheen Afridi will be disappointed in losing the captaincy. However, he can make the ball talk. The 2023 ODI WC was under-whelming and the talented pacer will want to do well. He will lead the bowling attack for the side.
3) Shadab Khan – Son-in-law of Saqlain Mushtaq
Shadab Khan is also one of the relations of former cricketers who will represent Pakistan in the 2024 T20 World Cup. The all-rounder will play a crucial role for Pakistan in the upcoming World Cup. He will be one of the main players who will render balance to the playing XI.
4) Abbas Afridi – Nephew of Umar Gul
It was earlier this year that Abbas Afridi made his debut for Pakistan. Nephew of a wily T20 pacer, Abbas will look to make the best use of his chance. He is fifth in the pecking order when it comes to the pace department for his side.
5) Azam Khan – Son of Moin Khan
Azam Khan is also one of the relations of former cricketers who will represent Pakistan in the 2024 T20 World Cup. Azam did well in various T20 leagues before he got a chance to play for Pakistan. He has been doing well for the side in the lower middle-order along with his wicket-keeping.
