Pakistan have not travelled to India since 2012-2013, and while they are not likely to have fans inside the stadium, that does not detract from how big the event will be across the border.<\/p>\n

While not officially the national sport in Pakistan, that has been hockey, it is hard to walk through a park on a day off without seeing hundreds of people of all ages, and anything resembling bat and ball emulating their heroes.<\/p>\n

For the national side, they will want to impress not only in India but on cricket\u2019s biggest stage, after unconvincing performances during the Asia Cup.<\/p>\n

In the last 50-over World Cup back in 2019, Pakistan narrowly missed out on qualification for the knockout rounds, finishing level on points with fourth-placed New Zealand who went on to become tournament runners up, but behind them on net run rate.<\/p>\n

But the nation has a rich cricketing history in the format and in the sport, especially when they lifted the trophy in 1992, beating England in the final in Australia. It was a side that contained some of the biggest names in the sport, Imran Khan, Wasim Akram, Javed Miandad and Inzamam-ul-Haq.<\/p>\n

More recently, Pakistan cricket has struggled on the international scene, in part due to the lengthy absence of touring sides due to the political situation. In 2009 a Sri Lanka team bus was attacked in Lahore, and no international side toured the country until Zimbabwe in 2015, while England did not return until November 2022.<\/p>\n

Babar Azam\u2019s team will want to impress on the biggest stage. But the side\u2019s chances of success were dealt a blow during the Asia Cup when Naseem Shah sustained a problematic shoulder injury that was more serious than feared and could see him ruled out for the entire tournament.<\/p>\n

Haris Rauf did not take part in the Asia cup, but the Pakistan Cricket Board has since posted videos of the fast bowler training and he is expected to play a part in the tournament even if he is not fit for the start.<\/p>\n
