The entire Pakistan team has reached USA ahead of their T20 World Cup 2024 campaign.

Pakistan reached Dallas on Friday morning (late Friday night in Pakistan) as they will be settling down in the Texas region for the first few days.

The tournament starts on June 1 at the Grand Prairie Stadium in Texas as co-hosts USA will play Canada. Pakistan will commence their campaign against USA on June 6 at the same stadium and it is to be shown how they adapt to the conditions.

Pakistan are coming on the back of their T20I series in Ireland and England. Babar Azam and co. have had a torrid time in England, losing the series 2-0, where they looked significantly weaker compared to England.

Questions have already started to arise in Pakistan regarding their fate in the T20 World Cup. They are along with USA, Ireland, Canada and India in Group A and two teams will advance to the Super Eights. Although Pakistan are favourites to go through, it has been a shaky period for them over the past few months. After their unconvincing 2-2 series draw against a second-tier New Zealand side, Pakistan only managed a narrow 2-1 series win over Ireland, before the debacle against England.

As Pakistan reached on Friday morning, the players will have a day off on Friday. However, the team is expected to train and have a practice session on Saturday as they prepare for the opening match of the tournament.
