The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Monday unveiled the official jersey for the upcoming 2024 T20 World Cup.
Monday’s event saw the country’s white ball captain Babar Azam, along with notable players such as Shaheen Shah Afridi and Mohammad Rizwan, display the Matrix Jersey live in an event that showcased the spirit of Pakistan cricket.
Covered in bold designs and vibrant colours, the Matrix Jersey not only embodies the essence of the spirit of Pakistani cricket, but also represents a contemporary craze that resonates with fans across the country.
The green jersey, symbolizing the nation’s identity, promises to be a badge of pride for the players and supporters as they embark on their T20 World Cup journey.
The ceremony, shared on PCB’s X handle (formerly Twitter), captured moments of anticipation and excitement as the players participated in training sessions culminating in the unveiling of the Matrix Jersey. Saim Ayub, Naseem Shah, Babar Azam and other celebrities have donned shirts that show they are ready to take the cricket field.
T20 World Cup 2024
Pakistan’s campaign in the T20 World Cup 2024 will begin on June 6 in the United States, where they will lock horns with arch-rivals India, Ireland, Canada and fellow United States in Group A.
However, the Green Shirts are scheduled to play the T20I series against Ireland and the team leaves for the European country tomorrow.
After the Ireland tour, Pakistan will travel to England for another four T20I series to boost their World Cup campaign.
According to the latest updates, the 18-man squad announced for the Ireland and England T20Is will become the 15-man squad for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 after the first T20I against England on May 22.
The deadline for team submission, originally set for May 1, has been extended to May 25, giving the team flexibility to make the necessary adjustments and approval from the event’s technical committee.
The tournament format divides the 20 qualifiers into five groups of four, with only the top two teams from each group advancing to the Super 8 stage, with the playoffs intensifying. From there, the journey to the top will culminate in the final on June 29 as the teams battle it out for cricketing glory.
