<h2><strong>Pakistan finally reveal squad for T20 World Cup</strong></h2>

<p>With the deadline to announce the squad fast approaching on Saturday (May 25), the selection committee on Friday revealed the 15-man squad. As expected, Babar will lead the side while Shaheen Shah Afridi remains one of the untouchables in the squad.</p>

<p>However, it was Mohammad Amir who made the headlines with his return to T20 World Cup action for the first time in over eight years. Amir recently returned to the Pakistan squad for the Ireland tour despite having visa issues while Imad Wasim will also make his return to the World Cup squad for the first time since 2021.</p>

<p>Hasan Ali, who was sent back home during the ongoing England tour dropped from the squad after failing to convince the coaches and selection committee.</p>

<p>This will be new white-ball coach Gary Kirsten’s first assignment with the national side in a major International Cricket Council (ICC) tournament, having taken charge of the side earlier this month. Interestingly, there are no reserve players in the Pakistan squad despite the ICC’s provision.</p>

Babar Azam-led Pakistan reveal T20 World Cup squad as Mohammad Amir, Imad Wasim return; Hasan Ali dropped

<p>Co-hosts West Indies have announced their squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup&nbsp;with&nbsp;Rovman Powell set to lead the side in his homeland. The 15-member&nbsp;squad&nbsp;did not have too many surprises&nbsp; and there was no international return of Sunil Narine despite impressing in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL 2024). The&nbsp;squad&nbsp;also consists of Alzarri Joseph and Narine’s KKR teammate Andre Russell as the hosts bid to win their third T20 World Cup.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Powell to lead West&nbsp;Indies</strong></h2>

<p>With much speculation surrounding the return of Sunil Narine, chief selector Desmond Haynes and Head Coach Daren Sammy on Friday (May 3) did not pull the rabbit out of the hat and opted to go with recent international players. Alzarri Joseph will be deputy captain for the side&nbsp;with&nbsp;places for Shai Hope, Akeal Hosein and Rajasthan Royals’ Shimron Hetmyer.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The T20 World Cup&nbsp;will be an emotional moment for the West Indies fans after having&nbsp;missed out on qualifying&nbsp;for the 2023 ODI World Cup.</p>

<p>The hosts won the T20 World Cup in 2012 when they beat Sri Lanka in the&nbsp;final&nbsp;while England were on the receiving end of a dramatic thriller in 2016 when the Caribbean side won their second title.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Interestingly, West Indies have opted not to name reserve players for the T20 World Cup and still have&nbsp;time&nbsp;until May 25 to make changes.&nbsp;So&nbsp;there&nbsp;is still an opportunity to retain&nbsp; Narine&nbsp;who&nbsp;as&nbsp;things&nbsp;stand&nbsp;is a retired international player.&nbsp;West Indies are in Group C along with Papua New Guinea, Uganda, New Zealand and Afghanistan.&nbsp;</p>
