Pakistan squad for T20 world cup 2010. Pakistan squad for Twenty20 world cup 2010 contains only 9 players who were a part of 2009 tournament which Pak team won. Defending their champions tag will not be easy for green team as several of their players were punished for poor performance in Australia 4 months ago and hence quite a few newer players have been given opportunity in this West Indies world cup.
Pakistan captain for T20 world cup 2010 will be Shahid Afridi although he was found guilty of ball tempering recently and PCB thought long and hard before reappointing him.
Waqar Younis is the coach of Pakistan squad while Ijaz Ahmed, former right handed batsman and under-19 coach, is the new fielding coach of the side.
