Former Indian opener, Wasim Jaffer has 5 pacers who will be expected to be picked by the Indian selectors for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia. The conditions in Australia will assist the pacers, so the performance of pacers will matter a lot. Interestingly, Jaffer left out Shardul Thakur, who played for the Indian cricket team in the ICC T20 World Cup 2021.

As per the reports of CricTracker, Wasim Jaffer went with six options in the pace-bowling department. Without any doubt, he picked Jasprit Bumrah, who has been a top performer for Team India in T20Is. The right-arm pacer has not been at his best in IPL 2022, but fans can expect him to fire all cylinders in ICC T20 World Cup 2022.

The second name on the list was IPL 2021 Purple Cap winner Harshal Patel. Owing to his consistent performances in the Indian Premier League (IPL) last year, Patel made his international debut after the ICC T20 World Cup 2021. He made a positive impact and is in the race for a place in the T20 World Cup 2022 squad.

The next name on the list is Deepak Chahar. However, Wasim Jaffer mentioned that his selection will completely depend on his injury status. Jaffer also picked Sunrisers Hyderabad star, T Natarajan. The presence of Natarajan will give India variety in their pace attack since he is a left-arm fast bowler. Also, Natarajan has done well in Australian conditions during the 2020-21 tour.
