Misbah and Hafeez back Pakistani pacers to trouble http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 – Cricket News Update
Pakistan’s ODI skipper, Misbah ul Haq, and the T20 Captain, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Hafeez-c76898, believe that Pakistani fast bowlers are capable of rattling the strong Indian batting line-up in the upcoming limited-over series, scheduled to kick-off later this month.
“I believe that the pacers selected in the squads have the potential to upset the Indians in their own backyard,” shared Hafeez.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Irfan-c76983 are amongst the
other pacers named for the outing.
The national side, being more reliant on spin-bowling over the past few months, boasting the likes of Saeed Ajmal, Mohammad Hafeez, Shahid Afridi, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Raza-Hasan-c84407, can mark this as an opportunity for the pace bowlers to steal the limelight, reflected
Misbah.
“For the pace bowlers, it is a great opportunity to shine and establish themselves in the team because a series against India is always followed very closely by everyone,” said Misbah.
However, Pakistan’s coach, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Saeed-Ajmal-c87859 is Pakistan’s trump card and will remain the biggest threat for India on their home soil.
“If you recall Saeed bowled very well against India in the 2011 World Cup semifinal,” shared Whatmore.
With Pakistan-India series always surrounded by immense hype and pressure, ODI skipper Misbah feels, “being professional players we are supposed to live and adjust to this unique pressure and I will be telling all the players to go and just play positively
on the tour.”
When asked about the omission of match-winning all-rounder http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shahid-Afridi-c2482 from the One Day side, Misbah said that both the players served Pakistan cricket well and decisions to drop certain players are part of
a collective process, including team management and selectors.
The Indians are currently engaged with the touring English and are at the verge of a Test series defeat at home, which would affect the side’s morale ahead of their clash with arch rivals Pakistan.
