Pakistan’s captain, Babar Azam, received a warm welcome from enthusiastic local fans as he and his teammates arrived at Hyderabad Airport ahead of the highly anticipated ICC ODI World Cup 2023 in India. The Pakistan squad initially embarked on their journey in Dubai before making their way to the capital city of Telangana.
Hyderabad will serve as the starting point for Babar Azam and his team’s preparations for the World Cup, hosting their first two matches of the tournament.
