It looks like that some players of the Pakistan squad will
depend on their jersey numbers to do well in the upcoming ICC World Cup 2015. The
interesting thing is that they have taken help from their spiritual advisors to
choose their preferred jersey numbers for the biggest cricketing event taking
place in February.
Middle-order batsman, Umar Akmal, has asked for number 3 to replace
96 on his shirt after consulting with his ‘Pir’. According to the report, Umar
was not happy with his poor form. In order to change his luck, he has asked for
this change.
Haris Sohail is one of the newcomers to have chosen 89
instead of 80 which he wore in the recently concluded series against New
Zealand. Other newcomers who will new numbers on their jerseys are Wahab Riaz
47, Ehsan Adil 91, and Yasir Shah 86.
Pakistani players get the opportunity to choose their
shirt numbers before every mega event like the World cup. However, players
hardly change the numbers they have been using for a while now.
