Fakhar Zaman’s bat was absolutely ineffective in this Asia Cup. But the Pakistani top-order is well-known for his batting in the market. His batting wasn’t in T20 style, Fakhar’s bat did not even get a run in this continental tournament. There was also a small injury. That’s why he didn’t get a chance in the series against England at home.

After that, Fakhar was also dropped from Pakistan’s World Cup team. However, while injury has been cited as the reason for Fakhar’s exclusion, the Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) selectors have left him out of consideration mainly because of recent off-form. But finally, they called this experienced batsman.

Fakhar’s return to the World Cup team was quite a surprise. Because PCB has taken a professional batsman instead of a professional bowler. Usman Qadir injured his right thumb during the tri-series in New Zealand. That ended the World Cup for this leg-spinner.

On the other hand, Fakhar, who has been out of the field since the Asia Cup, had a knee injury. He got injured while fielding in the Asia Cup. The left-hander is currently recovering from injury and is fully fit to play in the World Cup. Qadir moved to the World Cup standby list due to Fakhar’s inclusion in the main squad from the standby list.
