Pakistan needs to solidify its No. 3 batting position by bringing in Saud Shakeel, who is better equipped than Kamran Ghulam to handle high-quality pace and spin. Kamran has performed well lower in the order and shifting him up may disrupt his effectiveness. Additionally, Pakistan must add another specialist spinner to complement Abrar Ahmed. On pitches that assist turn, relying solely on part-timers could be costly. A balanced attack with a strong spin option will give Pakistan a strategic edge.

Fielding remains a weak link for Pakistan, often proving costly in high-pressure games. To compete at the highest level, the team must prioritize sharp catching, quick reflexes, and agile ground fielding. Intense fielding drills, strict fitness regimes, and accountability for errors should be emphasized to ensure Pakistan does not lose crucial moments due to lapses in the field.

Ahead of the Champions Trophy, Pakistan must approach the remaining part of tri-nation series with the intent to dominate. A successful campaign will help players settle into their roles and build confidence before the major event. Winning against strong opposition will provide the team with momentum, ensuring they enter the tournament in peak form and with a winning mindset.

By addressing these areas, Pakistan can maximize its potential and position itself as a strong contender for the Champions Trophy 2025.
