Shahid Afridi confident Saqlain, Yousuf will take Pakistan to great heights

Pakistan recently claimed a 2-1 win over Australia in the three-match ODI series at Lahore's Gaddafi Stadium.

After being hammered in the first ODI, the hosts made a stunning comeback in the final two ODIs where Babar Azam brilliantly led the team, scoring two consecutive centuries.

Head coach Saqlain Mushtaq hailed his boys for the historical series win where batters and bowlers both made performances.

Meanwhile, former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi has appreciated head coach Saqlain Mushtaq and batting coach Mohammad Yousuf for their contribution in the historic Australia series.

Afridi is confident that the duo will take the Men in Green to great heights and they can make a real difference.

"You two have made a great start as coaches. I'm sure your contribution can take Pakistan to great heights, keep up the good work. My best wishes are with you two, you can make a real difference Inshallah," Afridi tweeted.

Remember, Saqlain is named as the head of coaching panel for one year while Yousuf was only handed role for the Austrlia series.

It must be noted that it was Pakistan's first ODI series win over Australia since 2002. 

The tour will conclude tomorrow with a one-off T20I at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore.
