The Pakistan cricket team has officially revealed its jersey for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2024. The West Indies and the USA will host the mega-tournament from June 1 to 29. Pakistan is positioned in Group A during the initial phase, alongside the United States, India, Canada, and Ireland. The Pakistani team will kick off their World Cup journey on June 6 with a match against hosts the United States.
They will then meet their longstanding rivals, Team India, in the tournament’s flagship match on June 9 in New York. Babar Azam’s squad will subsequently encounter Canada and Ireland on June 11 and 16, respectively, to wrap up their group-stage matches.
The PCB utilized their official social media handle to release a video providing a sneak peek of their team’s jersey for the World Cup. Once again, they have opted for their iconic green attire, albeit with a slight alteration in the design.

“We don’t plan anything against only one player” – Babar Azam
During a recent press briefing, Pakistan captain Babar Azam was questioned about the team’s strategy for tackling Virat Kohli in the upcoming 2024 T20 World Cup match against India. Babar disclosed that they typically focus on strategies for the entire team rather than individual players.
“As a team, you always plan against different teams and according to their strengths. We don’t plan anything against only one player. And We plan for all 11 players. We don’t know much about the conditions in New York and we will plan accordingly. He [Virat Kohli] is one of the best players and we will plan against him as well,” Babar said.
Regarding the appointment of Gary Kirsten as the new head coach for Pakistan’s white-ball teams, Babar remarked:
“He [Gary Kirsten] was already working, and then PCB offered him the job, which he accepted. He is very enthusiastic about our discussions and is making every effort to join the team as soon as possible. However, he stays in touch daily, receiving reports about what we are doing and how we are planning things.”
