World Cup 2023: Pakistan’s Team Lands In Hyderabad As They Travel To India For The ODI World Cup After 7 Long Years, Watch HERE

Babar Azam’s Pakistan team has finally arrived in Hyderabad ahead of the championship game on Wednesday, one day after receiving their visas for the ICC World Cup 2023 in India. The men’s cricket team from Pakistan is making its first trip to India in seven years. After Pakistan and Australia finish their three-match series, India, Pakistan’s bitter adversary, will host the One Day International (ODI) edition of the ICC World Cup, which will begin on October 5.

Babar and Co. reached Hyderabad following a long nine-hour layover in Dubai. The Green Army departed from Lahore early in the morning on Wednesday to touch down in Hyderabad later in the night. Champions in the 1992 edition of the ICC World Cup, Babar’s Pakistan side will play their first warm-up game against 2019 runners-up New Zealand on September 29. The Asian giants will then meet five-time champion Australia on October 3. Babar’s men will kickstart their campaign in the World Cup against the Netherlands at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on October 6.

Babar is eager to perform at a packed stadium

Less than 48 hours before the team’s scheduled trip to Hyderabad, Pakistan’s cricket players received their Indian visas. Due to an injury, Pakistan’s captain Babar was unable to participate in the 2016 World Cup in India. “I am looking forward to playing in Ahmedabad since it will be crowded. I’ll do my very best to perform to the best of my ability. In the pre-departure press conference, Babar told reporters, “I am not worried about my individual honors; I want to make sure anything I do supports the result for the team.
