The upcoming 2021 T20 World Cup will be the first T20I ICC event in five years. India had last hosted the T20 World Cup in 2016, which was won by West Indies and India is scheduled to host the T20 World Cup again later this year.

With India battling the Covid-19 and a reported third wave of the horizon around October-November, it is possible that the T20 World Cup be moved to the UAE.

Former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram was asked about his pick to win the T20 World Cup, to which he replied that four teams are capable of winning the ICC event. He did back India to win the tournament.

“I suppose, between the main teams, India appear favorites. They play the fearless brand of T20 cricket. England is also at the top of the ladder. I think New Zealand too. And you never know about the West Indies. If their main players are in, they have a tendency to scare,” Akram said on ARY news.

Talking about the chances of his own country’s team winning the T20 World Cup, Wasim Akram said that Pakistan needs to work on it before they can have a strong chance to win the tournament after 2009.

"Pakistan needs to work on their team combination. Obviously, being a Pakistani, I would want Pakistan to win the World Cup. That will be a dream come true for all of us, especially the young captain, and if they need to improve their combination, find the best XI, they can fight. The problem of No. 5 and No. 6 needs to be solved," Akram pointed out.
