The ninth edition of T20 World Cup is currently being held in the USA and West Indies.
The Babar Azam-led Pakistan side, runners-up of the 2022 edition, could not find a place as Ashwin backed England, Australia, West Indies and India to reach the final-four stage.
The off-spinner revealed his pick through a funny video that is going viral on social media.
Notably, Pakistan suffered a shocking defeat at the hands of USA in their T20 World Cup 2024 opener in Dallas on June 6.
The nail-biting encounter saw both teams ending their innings at the identical score of 109, necessitating the one-over eliminator, where the Men in Green conceded 18 runs as veteran campaigner Mohammad Amir bowled quite a few wide deliveries.
With the bat, Pakistan tried their best but USA’s left-arm pacer Saurabh Netravalkar held his nerves to restrict the 2009 champions to just 13 runs.
Pakistan’s next match in scheduled against arch-rivals India in New York on Sunday (June 9).
