As part of their World Cup preparations, Pakistan played a four-match T20I series against England. However, the series didn't yield the desired results for Babar's side, as they lost 0-2, with two matches being washed out due to rain. Despite the setbacks, the interaction with Gavaskar is seen as a positive moment for Babar and the team as they gear up for the World Cup.
Pakistan are set to open their T20 World Cup campaign against co-hosts USA on June 6 in Dallas. This will be followed by a highly anticipated clash against arch-rivals India in New York on June 9, a match that promises to be one of the highlights of the tournament.
The Pakistan team and their fans are hopeful for a strong performance, looking to make a significant impact in the global cricketing event.
