To prepare for the tournament, Pakistan is set to participate in a three-match One-Day International series against Afghanistan before the 50-over ACC Asia Cup. 

The team will use these opportunities to experiment with their bench strength, fine-tune their strategy, and test their potential ahead of the global event.

Pakistan team director, Mickey Arthur, emphasized the importance of having a culture, brand, and style in a winning team. He stated that winning without a culture or style may work in the short term, but eventually, the team will fall. 

“If a team wins without a culture, without a brand or without a style, it may work for a short period but will eventually fall. If a team is losing with a culture, a brand and its own style, then it is moving towards the right direction," he said.

“So how do we achieve The Pakistan Way? We achieve this by winning while having our own culture, our own brand of cricket and our own style. We will not be satisfied with wins without that culture in the team. Pakistan as a nation is proud of its identity, culture and style. I love Pakistan and Pakistan cricket; I want to leave behind a legacy as a director where the rest of the world says we want to play The Pakistan Way," he added.

"To achieve the on-field success, the team management will emphasis on the importance of building a culture where a player’s success is enjoyed by everyone and creating an inclusive environment where anyone can speak up at anytime and everyone is treated equally eventually resulting in achieving collective goals as a nation and team," he concluded.

Team manager, Rehan ul Haq, stressed the importance of teamwork, both on and off the field, for the success of the team. He stated that creating an environment that enables players to perform at their best is crucial for achieving their goals.

“Our success will depend on how well we work together as a team on and off the field. It is important to make players take ownership of team goals and enjoy each other’s success. We want to create an environment that will enable our players to perform at their best. An environment where there is less fear of failure but more will to succeed,” he said.
