Shadab Khan opens up about his World Cup performance

Shadab Khan emphasized the need for Pakistan to adapt their cricketing approach to the demands of the modern game after England's decisive 93-run victory in Kolkata knocked Pakistan out of the World Cup, leaving them in fifth place in the 10-nation table.

Expressing disappointment in his own performance, Shadab acknowledged falling short of expectations and recognized the impact of his non-performance on the team's outcome.

"I am also disappointed with myself, I didn't live up to expectations. I should have performed. I think my non-performance brought the team here. If I had performed as a bowler, the result could have been different," Shadab told a local news outlet.

Addressing the team's collective responsibility, Shadab stressed the need for improvement in both bowling and batting, emphasizing the importance of aligning their strategies with the dynamics of modern-day cricket.

"We made a lot of mistakes and there were weaknesses, which is why we got eliminated. We failed in all three areas, but bowlers particularly didn't perform. In batting, too, we have to play according to modern-day cricket," he said.

"We did not play well as a team. We are all responsible," he concluded.
