ICC T20 World Cup 2021: Pakistan team profile

T20 World Cup in the UAE: Babar Azam will look to end Pakistan's wait for their 2nd World Cup title in the shortest format of the game. The Asian giants have a fine mix of youth and experience as they look to go all the way in the UAE.

Pakistan have made plenty of changes to their initial squad even before the T20 World Cup has begun. Babar Azam will lead Pakistan's challenge as the former champions look to take the cricket world by surprise.

Pakistan did not pick the likes of Sarfaraz Ahmed and Shoaib Malik in their initial squad. However, they have brought back their senior players ahead of the deadline to change the squads. The likes of Azam Khan, Mohammad Hasnain were dropped and replaced by Sarfaraz and Khushdil Shah. Fakhar Zaman, who was originally part of the stand-by players, returned to the main squad.
