A global mix of experience and star power
The English commentary panel boasts a rich mix of international and Pakistani voices, ensuring diverse perspectives throughout the tournament. Big names like Brathwaite, remembered for his unforgettable four sixes in a T20 World Cup final, bring flair and modern T20 expertise. Meanwhile, former Pakistan captain Akram adds unmatched tactical depth with his vast experience both on and off the field.
The panel also includes former international cricketers such as JP Duminy, Martin Guptill, Dominic Cork, and Greg Blewett, each offering unique insights from their playing days. Renowned broadcasters like Mark Butcher, Nick Knight, and Michael Haysman further strengthen the lineup with their articulate analysis and storytelling ability.
From Pakistan, familiar voices like Ramiz Raja, Bazid Khan, Athar Ali Khan, and Aamir Sohail ensure strong local representation. Their understanding of home conditions and players is expected to add an extra layer of depth to match commentary.
The Urdu commentary panel continues to play a crucial role in connecting with regional audiences. This year’s lineup features experienced names such as Shoaib Malik, Sana Mir, and Salman Butt, alongside voices like Marina Iqbal and Ayaz Chaudhary.
Former Pakistan women’s captain Sana Mir’s presence highlights the growing inclusion of women in cricket broadcasting, while Malik’s recent playing experience adds relevance and freshness to discussions.
