The traveling group includes not just the 18 players who will represent Pakistan on the field but also 13 support staff members. These support personnel play crucial roles in ensuring the team’s well-being, preparation, and logistics during the tournament.
Among the notable names, Morne Morkel, a former South African cricketer, is set to join the team in Dubai. Additionally, Mickey Arthur, a renowned cricket coach, is expected to meet up with the team once they reach India.
The team’s arrival in Hyderabad, India, is scheduled for 8:15 pm local time on September 27. This marks the beginning of their journey in this World Cup campaign. To prepare for the intense competition ahead, Pakistan will engage in two warm-up matches.
