The Pakistan Davis Cup team has arrived in Paraguay brimming with confidence ahead of their World Group-II showdown against the hosts, scheduled for September 12 and 13, 2025.

The squad, led by captain Muhammad Haseeb Aslam, includes veteran stars Aisam-ul-Haq Qureshi and Aqeel Khan alongside Muzammil Murtaza, Huzaifa Abdul Rahman, and Mikaeel Ali Baig. Supporting the players are Team Manager Col. (R) Zia-ud-din Tufail and physiotherapist Muhammad Shahid.

Before departure, the team underwent rigorous preparations with a 20-day camp at the PTF Tennis Complex in Islamabad, followed by a four-day training stint at the Inventist Tennis Academy in Istanbul, Turkey.

Aisam-ul-Haq Qureshi, who also serves as President of the Pakistan Tennis Federation (PTF), expressed optimism. “Our team is a strong mix of youth and experience. Paraguay is tough at home, but we will give our hundred percent to deliver a positive result,” he said.

Team Manager Col. Tufail added, “The squad is fully prepared for this tie and, Insha’Allah, we are hopeful for good results.”

With preparations complete, Pakistan’s focus now shifts to overcoming a spirited Paraguayan side on their home turf, as the players aim to script another memorable chapter in the country’s Davis Cup journey.
