The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has delighted fans with its creative announcement of the Pakistan squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024. On Friday, PCB revealed the 15-member squad, with Babar Azam leading the team, in a unique style that has won widespread admiration.
After a disappointing World Cup 2023, this tournament is a significant challenge for Pakistan. Typically, squad announcements bring mixed emotions, but PCB’s innovative approach has captured attention and praise. Drawing inspiration from New Zealand’s creative squad revelations, PCB involved fans from all walks of life in the announcement video.
The video featured auto drivers, ground staff, and college students from across the country, each naming a player in the squad. Pakistani supporters, who took to social media to express their joy, have highly appreciated this fan-centric method.
The PCB’s media team’s efforts were met with enthusiastic approval on X (formerly Twitter). One user called the announcement “nice and creative,” while another described it as “overwhelming.” The initiative has struck a chord, adding excitement and unity among fans looking forward to the T20 World Cup 2024.
