The championship played every two years has reserved seats for the world youth champions of the last two years. The winners guys of the 2021 and 2022 World Youth Championship were both from Pakistan (Syed Imaad Ali and Ali Salman) but the youngsters were unable to participate due to their tough study schedule.
Team leader Tariq Pervez expressed disappointment at the loss of key players ahead of the world championship but hoped that the remaining players would still do well as four of the five players had won international tournaments in the past.
