‘What is our strategy?’ – Butt questions Pakistan despite series win over WI

Former Pakistan captain Salman Butt has questioned Pakistan's strategy despite taking winning the ongoing series against West Indies in Multan Cricket Stadium.

The home side defeated West Indies in the first two ODIs to get an unbeatable 2-0 lead in the three-match series and their 10th consecutive ODI series win over the West Indies.

However, Salman Butt questioned a few tactics from the winning side, especially in the second ODI when the hosts lost a few quick wickets in the middle overs after Babar Azam and Imam-ul-Haq laid a strong foundation at the top of the order.

“There are certain things that Pakistan can sort out for themselves," he said on his YouTube channel.

"Like in the first ODI, Khushdil Shah finished the game brilliantly for Pakistan and won the game for the team and was unbeaten as well. But in the next game, when Pakistan were in trouble, they sent Mohammad Nawaz and Shadab Khan before Khushdil. What are they even doing? What are they even planning?" he said.

Butt also highlighted that young Mohammad Haris, who made his ODI debut in the ongoing series, should be playing in the side as a wicket-keeper batter.

“Another thing, you are playing Mohammad Haris, but you are not playing him as a wicketkeeper. If he is replacing Sarfaraz then why aren’t you playing him as a wicketkeeper-batsman?

"If you need him as a middle-order batter then play Shan Masood or Kamran Ghulam. West Indies aren’t posing us any challenges because they have problems of their own. But which direction are we heading into? What is our strategy?," he questioned.

The third and final ODI of the series is currently taking place with Pakistan batting first.
