Former Pakistan cricket captain Mohammad Hafeez has sparked debate with his mixed predictions for the upcoming ICC Men’s T20i World Cup 2024. While ultimately picking Pakistan as a semi-finalist, Hafeez expressed concerns about the team’s current form and lack of preparation.
Can Pakistan overcome T20 WC challenges?
Mohammad Hafeez pinpointed the recent 2-2 draw against New Zealand in Pakistan’s home series as a cause for worry. He highlighted the lack of a defined formation and a winning mindset as crucial areas needing improvement.
However, Hafeez did acknowledge the team’s recent resurgence in Ireland, where they managed a strong comeback after a shaky start. This flicker of potential, coupled with individual talent, ultimately led Hafeez to include Pakistan in his predicted semi-final lineup alongside India, West Indies, and England.
