Pakistan captain Babar Azam has stated that injured bowlers Haris Rauf and Naseem Shah are still important for his team’s World Cup plans. The absence of Rauf and Shah resulted in Pakistan losing to Sri Lanka and being eliminated from the Asia Cup. Both players were injured in a previous match against India. Azam expressed hope that Rauf will recover from a side strain before the World Cup, while Shah’s recovery is uncertain but Azam believes he will be fit for the tournament. The absence of the pace duo was evident when Pakistan failed to defend their total against Sri Lanka. Despite putting in effort, the team could not finish well. A debutant named Zaman Khan bowled the last two balls, but Sri Lanka’s Charith Asalanka hit a four and a double to secure victory. Azam acknowledged the team’s mistakes and expressed determination to improve in the upcoming World Cup in India. He highlighted issues with fielding and bowling in the middle overs and mentioned that the team will learn from these mistakes and address them before the tournament.
