Several players and officials arrived at Lahore’s Allama Iqbal International Airport on a private airline flight early Wednesday.

Babar, along with Imad Wasim, Haris Rauf, Shadab Khan, and Azam Khan, are set to depart on Saturday.

Following their appearance in the finals against England in the previous edition, Pakistan exited the ongoing World Cup in the group stage.

Pakistan concluded their campaign with a three-wicket victory over Ireland in Florida on Sunday, a match that held no bearing after India and the USA advanced to the Super 8 stage from Group A.

In Group A, Pakistan suffered consecutive defeats against co-hosts USA and arch-rivals India. Despite bouncing back with two consecutive wins, their efforts fell short in salvaging a dismal campaign and securing a Super 8 berth.
