Moin Khan predicts his semi-finalists for ICC World Cup 2023

Former Pakistan wicket-keeper, Moin Khan, has revealed his semi-finalists for the upcoming ICC World Cup 2023, scheduled to be held in India in October-November.

In an exclusive interview with Cricket Pakistan, Moin was asked about the likely semifinalists for the mega-event, and he singled out Pakistan, India, England, and Australia as the leading contenders.

"Out of the four, I see three: Pakistan, India, and England. The fourth team I see is Australia,"  Moin predicted.

Moin also advocated for Sarfaraz's inclusion in the World Cup squad as the second wicketkeeper-batsman, citing his recent performance.

"Sarfaraz is currently playing domestic cricket and is in good form. I was hoping and expecting that he could come into the team as the second wicketkeeper-batsman. He should have been included [in World Cup squad], considering there are so many matches," he concluded.

Pakistan have instead selected Mohammad Haris as second wicketkeeper, who is a travelling reserve in Men in Green’s squad for World Cup.

Pakistan squad: Babar Azam (C), Shadab Khan (VC), Fakhar Zaman, Imam ul Haq, Abdullah Shafique, Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Agha Salman, Saud Shakeel, Iftikhar Ahmed, Mohammad Nawaz, Usama Mir, Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, Hassan Ali, Mohammad Wasim Jr

Travelling reserves: Abrar Ahmed, Mohammad Haris, Zaman Khan
