Fakhar Zaman Aims for One Last World Cup Glory in 2027

October 16, 2026 • 59 minutes ago •

KARACHI: Fakhar Zaman, the celebrated Pakistani cricketer, is setting his sights on one final opportunity to secure World Cup glory as he prepares for the 2027 ICC Cricket World Cup, scheduled to take place across South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia.

Having experienced the thrill of victory with his iconic century in the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy, which remains a defining moment in Pakistan’s cricket history, Zaman is acutely aware of the long wait for another major title. At 37, this upcoming tournament may represent his last chance to contribute to Pakistan’s quest to end a prolonged ICC title drought, a sentiment echoed by his contemporaries, including Babar Azam and Shaheen Shah Afridi.

The 2017 triumph marked a golden era for this generation of players, who also reached the semi-finals and finals of the T20 World Cups in 2021 and 2022, respectively. However, a decline in performance since 2022 has raised concerns about their ability to reclaim past glories, making the 2027 World Cup a pivotal moment for both Zaman and his teammates.

As the cricketing world looks ahead, fans and analysts alike are eager to see how Zaman and the team will prepare for this crucial tournament. With the stakes higher than ever, the upcoming months will be critical for Pakistan cricket as they aim to restore their status on the global stage.
