Shaheen Shah Afridi is among the firm contenders for the feat. Known to strike with the new ball, the left-arm speedster will be fit and firing after coming from an extended break.

Mitchell Starc is yet another bowler, who is amongst the finest exponents of new-ball bowling. The Aussie bowler has a history of doing well in ICC events and this could be yet another instance.

Marco Jansen has had a meteoric rise in the last 18 months, leading South Africa's attack. With Jansen leading the wicket-taking charts in SA20 currently, he will be high on confidence ahead of CT 2025.

Indian left-arm spinner Kuldeep Yadav is likely to be a big threat in the tournament. With his attacking approach, Kuldeep can spark batting collapses out of nowhere and has an excellent ODI record against Pakistan.

Adam Zampa is likely the most consistent spinner in the white-ball format today. While Zampa doesn't spin the ball much, his variations in pace and length brings him wickets and is a strong contender for the feat.

Pakistan's Haris Rauf is yet another speedster who has the potential to become the top wicket-taker of the tournament. His raw pace and hard lengths are capable of unsettling even the best batters.

Afghanistan's Rashid Khan is amongst the finest exponent of wrist-spin bowling. The youngster holds the potential to take the pitch out of the equation and should enjoy bowling in Pakistan, regardless of the conditions.
