T20 World Cup 2024: Following Pakistan’s early elimination from the competition, Wasim Akram made fun of the squad. He disclosed the Pakistani team’s intention to return home by plane after they were unable to advance to the Super 8 round.
Wasim Akram, a former cricket player for Pakistan, poked fun at the squad when he disclosed their post-twenty World Cup 2024 plans. In the group round of the competition, the Pakistani team was eliminated. Ireland and the USA shared the points due to the bad weather in Lauderhill, Florida. Thus, in their very first T20 World Cup participation, the USA squad made history by qualifying for the Super 8 stage of the competition.
Akram praised the United States team for advancing to the next round of the major competition and securing their spot in the T20 World Cup in 2026. He continued, mocking the Pakistani squad, by suggesting that their next course of action should be to take a plane home. Sunshine in Florida prevented Pakistan from making a dramatic departure from the competition.
Yes, without a doubt. And congrats to Team USA. They’ve performed very well in terms of the game’s globalization. This concludes the USA’s Super Eight qualification. It is right that they are present. In the round encounter, they had triumphed against Pakistan. Thus, they are present. The plan EK 601 for Pakistan was to go to Dubai and then to the appropriate places. In a video that the ICC shared on social media, Akram said, “And then we see what happens from there onwards.”
