Craysherch: It appears that the captain of the T20 international team in Pakistan (T20i) is ready to benefit because he expressed optimism before the opening match against New Zealand on Sunday.
At a pre -series press conference, the 31 -year -old general manager highlighted the team’s strengths and expressed their confidence in their performance.
“We did not play our own standards or the expectations of our fans, and for this reason they are disappointed. But we have a new team, and this does not mean that it is not a good team.
“There are also experienced players in the team, and we think we have a strong mix to play good cricket and win.”
His remarks come after the black caps trample green shirts in successive championships, including the TI-NAT series and the International Cricket Council-both cases on the soil of the homeland.
He admitted the importance of spinning despite the green stadium and made updates to the injured players Fakhar Zaman and Saim Ayub.
The stadium looks green, but the spinning will also get some help. Shaheen Shah Aphydi and Harris Rove performed good in the Cricket T20 game, and we will miss the pottery of Zaman and Sayem Ayoub, two main players. Thank God, they are recovering quickly and they must return in the next series. “
In addition, the ongoing transitional phase in the Pakistani crochet game discussed, stressing the need to develop new groups after years of relying on the secrets, Babar Amal and Muhammad Rizouan.
He added: “Babar Ozal and Rizwan have contributed a lot to the Pakistani cricket game, and now we are working to build a new group. XI’s play has not been completed yet, but we are confident in our team and we focused on making strong offers.”
It is appropriate to mention that the white ball chain between men in Green and BlackCaps consists of five T20is, followed by three internationals in one day (ODIS), until April 5.
The series also represented the emergence of young talents Abdel Sadal and Hassan Nawaz, who received calls before marriage to the national team.
