Pakistan bowling coach Waqar Younis feels that with a lot of matches played in UAE by his team, the bowlers are equipped well with experience to dow ell in the upcoming T20 World Cup, which is scheduled to take place in UAE.
“Fortunately, we have played a lot of cricket in UAE and our bowlers have a good idea that how and where to bowl in those conditions,” Younis said in a virtual press conference from Derby, England, where the Pakistani team is currently practising for their limited-overs series against the hosts.
The 49-year-old further went on to say that his main concern is to see that the team is kept above individual performances. “We don't look into players ranking, our only concern is team performance. If the team performs well players ranking will automatically improve,” he said.
Due to incessant rains in most parts of England and Wales, the Pakistan team hasn’t ideal practice situations. However, former Pakistan skipper Younis believes that such is the climate of England that his team mustn’t complain.
“We are not getting ideal weather since the last couple of days but this is usual in England. Our bowlers are responding well in these conditions even though they had come from different conditions of UAE,” said the coach.
Calling PSL star bowler Shahnawaz Dahani a ‘talented guy’, Waqar assured that the Larkana born could do better if imparted with the right coaching and given more exposure. “He can do better and we will try to utilise him as much as we can,” he added.
