Despite the lack of experience in Indian conditions, he expressed confidence, noting that the conditions are similar to those in other Asian countries. Babar also expressed his honor at captaining the team and his hope of returning with the trophy.

Missing the Home Crowd

Pakistan acknowledges the absence of their fans due to visa issues, but Babar expects to feel their support through social media. He anticipates playing in packed stadiums, expressing excitement about the love and passion for cricket in India.

Upcoming Warm-up Match and World Cup Kick-off

Pakistan’s warm-up match against New Zealand is scheduled behind closed doors in Hyderabad on September 29. Their World Cup campaign begins on October 6 against the Netherlands at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.
