Looking forward to a few battles: Rohit & Rahul vs Shaheen, Rahul vs Shadab & Nawaz, Kohli vs Shadab & Nawaz, Pandya & Surya vs Nawaz. If Pant plays, he could struggle against anyone but right arm pace. I do think Iftikhar could bowl well to Kohli and Pandya if used. #T20WorldCup
Pakistan could bowl an over of Shadab in the powerplay if needed. Apart from Rohit, he could be effective against both Rahul and Kohli. If Surya is batting in the powerplay, Nawaz could be used too. Nawaz could be effective against Rohit in PP too. #T20WorldCup
In the middle overs, Nawaz and Shadab could be v useful as India don't have a left-handed batter (if Pant doesn't play) and apart from Surya no other batter go could after Shadab's leg spin at will in the middle. #T20WorldCup#INDvPAK
Media reports indicate franchises will finalize their squads for the mini-draft tomorrow and day after. The PCB is also finalizing the Covid-19 related protocols. At least 25-30 extra players are going to be added to the bio-secure bubble to deal with positive cases. #PSL2022
Teams will have an opportunity to field 12 players even if eight players in the squad test positive. If more than eight players test positive, the franchises will have to pick a replacement from the additional pool of players available in the bubble. #PSL2022
Covid positive cases will have to spend ten days in isolation. Also, only two teams will travel from Karachi to Lahore on a chartered flight. #PSL2022
