The T20 World cup fever has started with a lot of experts and cricketers around the world picking the favourites for the title.

The big tournament had to be shifted to UAE after the increasing Covid-19 cases in India.

Imad Wasim Feels Pakistan Has Enough Skillful Players

Imad Wasim mentioned that UAE will act as a home ground to Pakistan as they have been playing their home games for the last decade in UAE. The left-arm spinner added that Pakistan has enough skill to take them close to the title and reckoned that the series against New Zealand and England will be key to their preparations.

We have skillful players who can take us deep in the championship so we will try to give our 100 percent on the field,”
