Pakistan captain Babar Azam, along with players Mohammad Amir, Imad Wasim, Haris Rauf, Shadab Khan, and Azam Khan, have decided to spend their holidays in London before heading back to Pakistan following their disappointing T20 World Cup run.
These six players will not arrive in Pakistan with the rest of the squad on Tuesday. Instead, they intend to spend time with friends and family in London, and some are considering playing in local UK leagues, as reported by The Express Tribune.
Meanwhile, head coach Gary Kirsten and assistant coach Azhar Mahmood will return to their homes. With no immediate commitments, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has allowed the coaching staff to head back to their countries, the report stated.
Pakistan Fails To Make It to Super 8s
Pakistan’s performance in Group A of the ongoing T20 World Cup was disappointing, as they failed to make it to the Super 8s stage. They suffered losses to co-hosts USA and arch-rivals India before achieving a seven-wicket win against Canada and a three-wicket win over Ireland in their last group-stage match.
