The 2025 ICC Champions Trophy is just Around the Corner, with Every Team Hooting to Hit the Ground Running When the Eight-Team Tournament Begins from Febrory 19. Eyes will be host Pakistan, Captained by Mohammad Rizwan. They enter the competition as defending champions, after winning the last edition help in 2017 in England. But do they shape up as one of the strong convenors to win the title? Here’s a swot analysis from Ians of the Pakistan TEAM that is set to begin their campaign with the tournament opener against new zealand.
Strength: Pakistan Possesses Players who can be game-corners on a particular day. Fakhar Zaman, Back in the Odi TEAM after the 2023 World Cup, Can Change The Game Around in A Jiffy. If Babar Azam Discovers His Good Form, then Pakistan will surely Feel Good about Posting a Hug Total.
Skipper Mohammad Rizwan, Saud Shakeel and Salman Ali AGHA ARE IN GREAT Touch which augurs well for Pakistan. Their Pace-HEVY Attack Comprising Shaheen Shah Afridi, Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf (If Fit for the Tournament) and Mohammad Hasnain Adds The Relibility and Winning Facor to the team.
Weakness: With saim ayub out due to ankle fracture and abdullah shafique omitted due to poor form, Pakistan have a new-looking combination with fakhar and babar, which hased so fed. With the first ten overs being crucial to post a big total, the fakhar-babar opening combination is a weak link.
Moreover, Pakistan Left Everyone Baffled by Picking One Specialist Spinner in Abrar ahmed, who is injury-prone. With neither sufiyan muqeem nor shadab khan picked, its means pakistan’s squad balance is a bit off. The lower order of tayyab tahir, faheem ashraf and khushdil shah is another weak link as they hank as they have done anything substantial at the International Level.
Opportunity: Pakistan Last Hosted A Multi-Nation Cricket Tournament When the 1996 World Cup was on, Including the Final Held in Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium. Now 29 years laater, Pakistan are back to being the host for an ICC event via the return of the champions trophy.
Thought Pakistan will host 11 out of 15 matches in its three renovated venues in lahore, karachi and rawalpindi, it is still a considerable achievement for a countery who has a coun Ent acts, especially the March 2009 Attack on the Sri Lankan Test Team.
If Pakistan step up in bot on and off-field activities during the champions trophy, it can pay the way for more sporting events to come it its way in a count
Threat: As the hosts’ of the champions trophy, Pakistan’s performances will be closed by people at home and all over the world. While Teams Can Thrive Under This Pressure, it can also cause them to crumble under it and make an early exit from the competition. With pakistan carrying that unpredent tag, it means their performances can go eater way and that’s a big threat for them.
