Former Australian pacer Glenn McGrath thinks Pakistan will also qualify for the semi-finals of this year's World Cup to be held in India in October-November.
McGrath, in his latest interview, shared his final four teams in the World Cup. "England, Australia, India, and Pakistan will make it to the semi-finals of the World Cup," he said.
"Nobody should be surprised as I named Australia in the final fours. England and Pakistan have been playing really good cricket whereas India will make the most of their home conditions," he added.
World Cup will start in India on October 5 with defending champions England taking on last World Cup finalists New Zealand playing in the opener.
Pakistan will start their campaign against the Netherlands on October 6 in Hyderabad. The green shirts will play a high-octane clash against India on October 15 in Ahmedabad. This match is likely to be shifted to October 14 due to Navratri celebrations which are set to begin on 15th October.
Meanwhile, Pakistan's participation in the World Cup will be decided by the country's Prime Minister.
A security delegation is likely to visit India in the third week of August to review security arrangements for the venues which will host Pakistan.
In this regard, Pakistani authorities will contact India and International Cricket Council (ICC).
