The star Pakistani trio of Babar Azam, Mohamad Amir and Rizwan will play for the Vancouver Knights in the upcoming Global T20 Canada league. Pakistan cricket team, after getting knocked out of the first round of the ongoing T20 World Cup, have returned back home. Notably, Vancouver Knights have also acquired Dipendra Singh Airee and Sandeep Lamichhane from Nepal to finalize the squad for the season.
Regardless, after the T20 World Cup humiliation, Pakistani cricketers have their next assignment lined up. The Global T20 Canada League’s fourth edition is set to commence from July 25 to August 10.
The Knights, who finished as second runners-up in the Global T20 Canada League 2023 season, aim to cross the finish line this year. The Vancouver Knights have signed Pakistan’s acclaimed players, Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, and Mohammad Amir. Babar Azam is widely popular for being the best modern-day batter Pakistan has produced. His numbers in T20 cricket in the recent past are much greater compared to Virat Kohli.
On the other hand, Mohammad Rizwan, another well-known opening batter from Pakistan, has made a name for himself with his fearless approach at the top. He has the ability to bat deep, and score runs at a healthy strike rate.
Meanwhile, Mohammad Amir, an impactful left arm pacer, recently came out of his international retirement to feature in the T20 World Cup for Pakistan. Contrary to his team’s performance, Amit stood tall with 7 wickets in four games. As stated above, Global T20 League will commence from July 25 onwards.
