“Muhammad Shahzad and others in the top order including me is the strength of our batting, similarly in the bowling and late order Ahmad khan is the real strength of Pakistan cricket team and all these are enough for me to get good performance from Pakistan team in this tournament.” Qasim Answered questions.
We are adjusted in West Indies conditions now and warm up game against Canada gave us good practice, so we are fully ready to take on Afghanistan and other opponents in the tournament.
Pakistan captain has good learning from India Cricket team who has ability to bat 50 overs with top orders and said that India team start slowly and than got the pace later on and this is good technique for us to set good totals and for this purpose we will follow plans given to us by our coaches.
