Key Pakistan Players To Watch Out For

Babar Azam: According to Shadab Khan, "he is the mixture of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi" in cricket. And in current form, he's arguably the world's best. That's Pakistan captain for you. Babar Azam, the top-ranked T20 batter, is yet to win a big tournament, and Asia Cup can be a good appetiser. The 27-year-old's runs will be crucial to Pakistan's campaign.

Naseem Shah: In the absence of Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah can become Pakistan's main strike bowler in the tournament. The 19-year-old is likely to make his T20I debut against India on August 28.
