Going To Be Tough, But Pakistan Perform Well When No One’s Expecting: Latif On Team’s T20 WC Preparation
T20 World Cup: Former Pakistan skipper Rashid Latif shared his views on Pakistan’s T20I setup and mentioned that while they are a strong team in the 50-over format, the Men in Green are still to find the right balance in their combination for the shortest format of the game, with the T20 World Cup fast approaching.
He noted that the team management must try out new players when Pakistan face relatively weaker teams in the coming months to be match-ready heading into the World Cup next year. The global T20 tournament will be jointly hosted by India and Sri Lanka, starting February 7, 2026.
“Right now, Pakistan are playing against relatively weaker teams. In January, they have a series against Australia, but before that, they’re facing lighter opponents. I think this is the right time to try out new players if you want to strengthen the team — later, there won’t be time for experimentation. The other teams are all very strong — South Africa, New Zealand, India, England, and of course, Australia. It’s going to be a tough competition for Pakistan, but sometimes in knockout tournaments, when no one is expecting much from them, that’s when they perform well. Still, they’ll have to work really hard to reach a certain level,” Latif told IANS.
