Naseem Shah’s inclusion in Pakistan’s T20 World Cup 2024 squad is almost a certainty. While his recent performance in the two-match series against New Zealand might raise a few eyebrows, his talent and potential far outweigh a temporary blip.
There’s no doubt that returning from a long injury layoff can impact a player’s rhythm and mental state. However, Naseem Shah’s raw pace and exceptional bowling skills make him an invaluable asset for the Green Shirts in white-ball cricket.
Naseem Shah’s ability to swing the ball with lethal pace and accuracy makes him a nightmare for batters, especially in the opening overs with the new ball. Alongside Shaheen Shah Afridi, Naseem forms a potent pace attack, capable of dismantling any batting lineup.
Therefore, Naseem Shah’s participation in the T20 World Cup 2024 is not just likely, it’s almost guaranteed.
