After much anticipation, the Pakistan cricket team have revealed their team for the Champions Trophy event. There weren’t many shocks because the squad welcomed back individuals who could change Pakistan game and kept the majority of its key players.
As the reigning champions, the host country will be keen to win the competition once more. They are the favorites because of their excellent pace bowling and seemingly sound batting. However, Pakistan needs strong game-changers on their side to win crucial matches, and in this post, we’ll discuss three such players who may make a big difference with their exceptional abilities.

3) Fakhar Zaman
Since an ankle injury sidelined Saim Ayub, Pakistan cricket’s comeback man, Fakhar Zaman, joined the Champions Trophy team. Fakhar was the ideal pick for Pakistan, who needed an aggressive opener to take Saim Ayub’s spot.
When Fakhar struck a spectacular ton to win the Champions Trophy for his country in 2017, he first showcased his talent. One of their greatest match-winners is the left-handed hitter, and Pakistan’s level fields will encourage his aggressive hitting approach.
2) Mohammad Rizwan
As a middle-order batsman and skipper in the Champions Trophy, Mohammad Rizwan would be under a lot of pressure. He is a big game player, much as Fakhar, and the 2023 World Cup demonstrated this.
In addition to his ability to bat in the middle order, Rizwan is a strong skipper, as seen by his performances during the tours of South Africa and Australia.
1) Shaheen Afridi
Shaheen Afridi’s 10-over period, the greatest game-changer with the ball in hand, will be vital to Pakistan tournament outcome.
In addition to taking wickets at the top, he can also come in late to capture wickets. Since Naseem Shah isn’t playing at his best, Shaheen will have to lead the power play and provide his team with breakthroughs.
