Misbah Ul Haq, head coach and chief selector of the national team, has said that touring Australia is a great challenge, and I am sure that playing well in all fields will produce good results.
Talking to the media before the practice session, he said that when any team in the world comes to Australia, there are challenges for them but it is an even bigger challenge for Pakistan’s young team.
On the question of Abdul Qadir’s son-in-law sniper Usman Qadir’s inclusion in the national team, Misbah said that Usman Qadir was well aware of the conditions he played in Australia. Australia’s habit of showing the team’s unpredictable and surging performance could also be intimidating? We will try to take advantage of this, but we try to keep our performance consistent.
On a question asked about young fast bowler Naseem Shah, he said that young fast bowlers do good bowling, not only fast bowling but they also showed better control over the line and length. They are our surprise package. ۔
During the press conference, when the head coach was asked whether the national team’s T20 team leader Babar Azam and Test captain Azhar Ali would be under pressure from captaincy and could that pressure affect their personal performance? So Misbah Ul Haq said that for any captain, it has always been my suggestion that the performance of the team is important in its place but it is most important for the captain to play in the team.
Chief selector said that Azhar Ali and Babar Azam are good batsmen and the most important thing for both of them is to focus first on their performance as a batsman.
Misbah said that every player in the team is professional, every player knows what performance he has to perform, the captain’s job is to operate them, the man learns over time, the captaincy is pressure at the beginning but mine The personal opinion is that when it comes to your responsibility, many times it improves your performance.
Misbah said that the Prime Minister is the best Twenty20 batsman and if he maintains his performance, he will benefit from his captaincy as well.
It is to be remembered that the Pakistan team will also play a practice match with Australia XI on Thursday before the T20 series of 3 matches followed by three Twenty20 matches between November 5 and 8 on both teams.
