Previous Pakistan cricket team captain and existing Head Coach Misbah ul Haq has stated that openers, regardless of being out-of-form, should remain unchanged after at least one or two series.
Misbah was talking to media via a virtual mode where he acknowledged that Pakistani openers were presently “out-of-form”
He said: “We will work on their mistakes, I will be present in the National High Performance Centre and we will work on them [openers] for a month-and-a-half. We will work on Abid Ali, Shan Masood, Imran Butt and Abdullah Shafique because only they are the ones who are performing at the moment [among openers in the domestic circuit],”
The Pakistani head coach believed that after beating South Africa 2-0 in the series, Pakistani team player’s morale was tall. He said the team will try to carry on their winning run in the T20s as well.
He further added: “This is not a very experienced side but they have a lot of potential. They will take advantage of opportunities. I can’t even say this is an entirely inexperienced side because it has some players that have been consistently playing for the team, Both are performing continuously for Pakistan. We needed a bowling all-rounder at the seventh position and Faheem Ashraf has filled that for us,”
