Pakistan’s T20 skipper, Mohammad Hafeez, is extremely happy with his team’s combination and expressed that he is banking on senior players to deliver the goods in the forthcoming tour of Sri Lanka.
Apart from appointing Hafeez as the T20 captain, earlier in May, the selection committee brought a lot of changes in Pakistan’s team in the shortest version of the sport. A number of young players have been given a chance to prove their worth in international
cricket against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758.

The 31-year-old cricketer from Sargodha believes that the Pakistani players are extremely talented and it is just about handling nerves at the world stage. Hafeez expressed that it is extremely crucial for every player in the squad to understand his role
and perform accordingly.
Pakistan’s T20 skipper said, “You always require the best line-up to play and the balance of the XI is important. Yes, I have been given a good combination. The best part of the team is that each player is talented and has a well-defined role. That will
reduce my effort to redefine their role. We have a set combination and only need minor adjustments depending on the conditions.”
For his interview to Cricinfo, Hafeez further added that he is lucky to have the services of some established players, who are expected to lend a helping hand to the opening batsman, whenever he runs short of ideas.
“Players like http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Umar-Akmal-c94595 are my best men in the side, who have been performing well for years in the format. This will only help me,” the all-rounder added.
Hafeez’s first test is going to be in Sri Lanka and it remains to be seen how the all-rounder handles the pressure of leadership in international cricket.
