PCB has declared its Twenty20 World Cup 2007 that has already begun in South Africa. Here follows the Pakistan Twenty20 World Cup Squad:

   1. Shoaib Malik (captain)
   2. Shahid Afridi
   3. Shoaib Akhtar
   4. Kamran Akmal
   5. Fawad Alam
   6. Yasir Arafat
   7. Mohammad Asif
   8. Salman Butt
   9. Umar Gul
  10. Mohammad Hafeez
  11. Misbah-ul-Haq
  12. Rao Iftikhar
  13. Younus Khan
  14. Imran Nazir
  15. Abdul Rehman

The team composition seems pretty good and it is balanced with a mixture of both experienced players like Younus Khan, Shoaib Malik, Shahid Afridi, Shoaib Akhtar and Kamran Akmal. But The player to be watched in this team is Shahid Afridi. He is well-known as a nightmarish batsman for too many bowlers. Once his bat starts speaking then it may lay down any so-called deadly bowlers. I hope his bat is too ready for the deadly act in this Phatphat Cricket. Shahid has a very good one day career, though he has been off and on in the team. Bt his contribution to the team in this Twenty20 World Cup (First of such kinds of gatherings in the world). Shahid Afridi's One Day career:
