Pakistan had a disappointing performance in the last T20I against England at The Oval, losing the series 2-0 after two matches were washed out due to rain
Former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif has expressed his concerns over the team's struggles in T20 cricket following their consecutive defeats against England.
Pakistan had a disappointing performance in the last T20I against England at The Oval, losing the series 2-0 after two matches were washed out due to rain.
"They are not getting their combination right, which is their biggest problem. Not only shuffle, but players need to be prepared to play at floating roles now in T20 cricket as per the match situation," Latif said.
Latif also said he wants to see Mohammad Rizwan back in his wicketkeeping role in place of Azam Khan.
"The team has two wicketkeepers, Usman Khan and Rizwan. I suggest that wicketkeeping should be done by a senior player," he said.
"Rizwan was running the game from behind for the last four years [but] now you have removed that guard," he added.
Despite the challenges, legendary Pakistani batsman Javed Miandad sees potential in the team's unpredictability.
“They are unpredictable and always seem to do well in these T20 World Cups. But yes, they need to definitely improve in some areas quickly because, with a 20-team event, you can’t afford to relax even in one game,” Miandad said.
