Babar Azam wants to win the World Cup on Indian soil

Pakistan captain Babar Azam was selected as the ICC Cricketer of the Year last year. He has many achievements in his cricketing career. In terms of achievements, this batsman has surpassed many compatriot legends and is waiting to surpass someone else. Although there are many great career achievements, there is only one regret. The World Cup trophy has not been touched. This Pakistan captain wants to get rid of that regret this year.

Pakistan’s captain is in great form in one-day cricket. He has achieved almost everything in ODI cricket with the bat in the last year. He had also climbed to the top spot in July of the previous year. He received the title of ICC cricketer of the year in the previous year as well as last year. Under his leadership, Pakistan lost only one of nine ODIs in 2022. It was against Australia. Pakistan won the rest. This time his goal is the World Cup.

At this moment, the Pakistan captain wants only one thing. To perform his best for the team and lift the World Cup trophy. Recently, the Pakistani star cricketer said in an interview, “My biggest wish right now is to be a part of the World Cup team and win the World Cup. This year, there is the ODI World Cup. I am looking forward to performing here. And my aim is to play well here. For the country so that we can win the World Cup. I personally have a lot to achieve. I want to give the best to the team through individual performances. But right now my aim is to win the World Cup. I hope we can do that.”

Pakistan has won the ODI World Cup only once in the history of cricket. That was in 1992. Under the leadership of Imran Khan, Pakistan won the title by defeating England by 22 runs. 31 years have passed since then. The title did not come home. The Pakistan captain wants to repeat that history this time.

It should be noted that the 2023 One Day World Cup will be held in October-November this year. India is the host of the World Cup. Meanwhile, the war of words continues between India and Pakistan due to political tension. Pakistan has threatened that Pakistan will not play the World Cup on Indian soil as complications have arisen over the venue of the Asia Cup. But the Pakistan captain’s words indicate that Pakistan is not boycotting the World Cup. But only time will tell how Babar’s hopes of winning the World Cup will be fulfilled.
