According to the Inzamam-ul-Haq, either Babar Azam or Shadab Khan would serve as the CAPTAIN or Vice-Captain of the National Squad.
Due to an Injury, fast bowler Naseem Shah is not a member of the national squad; in his place, Hasan Ali has been added.

Reserve player:
Therefore, adding Mohammad Haris, Abrar, or Zaman Khan, the CHIEF SELECTOR Inzamam-ul-Haq stated that 3 Players have been retained in reserve for the WORLD CUP.
Hasan Ali was selected to the squad based on experience, as major matches call for an experienced bowler. Inzamam-ul-Haq stated that Naseem Shah‘s absence from the team is a loss for us, but we are confident that he will join the TEAM soon. I’m going to return.
He claimed that Due to the fact that we have more pressure than other Indian teams and have more fast bowler injuries, we have sought to use experienced bowlers in major matches. Given these facts and the addition of Hasan Ali, the handle also has an issue.
It should be remembered that the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 will begin on October 5 in India, where teams have already begun to arrive.
The National Team will play warm-up matches prior to Pakistan’s opening World Cup encounter on October 6 against the Netherlands.
