DALLAS: The Pakistan Men’s cricket team on Friday reached here to participate in the upcoming ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, scheduled to take place from June 1 to 29 in the United States of America (USA) and the West Indies.
According to the details, the national cricket team reached here from London after competing in a four-match T20I series against defending champions England.
Pakistan have been struggling to get on the winning track ahead of this year’s mega event.
The Green Shirts played three bilateral T20I series in a bid to prepare for the T20 World Cup 2024 but could not produce the desired results.
The former champions played out a 2-2 draw against an inexperienced New Zealand side in a five-match home series before registering a 2-1 away series win over Ireland.
In their last assignment before the World Cup, Pakistan succumbed to a 2-0 defeat in the four-match away series against England.
But the biggest setback for Pakistan was the shock loss against Ireland in the first T20I.
