The former Pakistan captain also stated that the national side has better chances of winning the mega event, as compared to the odds during their triumphant 2017 ICC Champions Trophy run. “I actually believe that Pakistan have a better chance to win the World Cup this time around than we did two years ago at the Champions Trophy,” he said. “Back in 2017, nobody gave Pakistan a chance, but this time around people are mentioning Pakistan as potential winners of the World Cup.”
He said Pakistan were strong in all areas, but the key would be getting a solid base from the top-order batsmen and getting runs on the board for the bowlers to work with. “Pakistan’s bowlers are always strong, and this time is no different.” The 34-year-old, who announced retirement from limited-overs cricket in November last year, had no regrets about bringing the curtain down on his career in the shorter formats. “I’m a firm believer that whatever happens, it happens for the best,” he said.
