BTW, The design of the jersey is looking beautiful. I am surprised, how the designer manages the design with one color. It's damn impressive

Pakistan’s path to the coveted trophy begins with Group A, where they face India, Ireland, Canada, and co-hosts United States. Before the main event, they head to Ireland for a T20I series, followed by four matches in England.
The initial 18-player squad will be trimmed to 15 after the first T20I against England on May 22. With the deadline for final squad submission set for May 1, minor adjustments can still be made until May 25.
The T20 World Cup format features four groups of five, with the top two teams progressing to the Super 8 stage. There, the teams will be divided into two groups of four, with the top two in each group battling it out in the semi-finals. The final is scheduled for June 29.
Pakistan’s T20 World Cup matches:
