Shadab Khan of Pakistan claims that the World Cup has to have a potent bowling attack.
In order to have any chance of winning the World Cup, according to Pakistan vice-captain Shadab Khan, a team will need a strong bowling assault.
Despite the loss of teenage speedster Naseem Shah by the Men in Green in the run-up to the competition, Shadab thinks Pakistan still has enough firepower in their arsenal to contend for the championship.
“The team with a strong bowling attack will take the championship. Picking wickets and keeping batsmen in check are challenging under these circumstances. The side that bowls the best will win the competition because the wickets are flat and the boundaries are small here. We have elite bowlers as well, and if we perform well, we may win the competition, said Shadab at a news conference on Sunday.
Hasan Ali, Naseem’s replacement, is a skilled campaigner as well as Mohammad Wasim Jr., who can frequently fire the speed gun.

But Pakistan’s spin bowling unit, which struggled to take wickets in the middle overs of the Asia Cup even in subcontinental conditions, is a huge concern going into the competition. In five games, Shadab took six wickets at an average of 40.83.
“Recently, my form hasn’t been great. A player has mental distress as a result of subpar performance. But now that I’ve had some time to rest, I can focus on getting ready for the World Cup, the leggings stated.
Despite not playing in every game, he is a significant and influential player. These kind of players are inconsistent. His three tonnes this year were produced for a good reason. Every team would want to have a player of his calibre. We need to allow him some mental distance. Like Fakhar, we don’t have as many significant players. These players would always receive support. The squad succeeds when he plays well in pivotal contests, Shadab stated.
In addition, Shadab praised fellow wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav, who recently claimed five wickets against Pakistan. He also praised India captain Rohit Sharma as an Indian batsman he enjoys seeing.
