Pakistan should start preparing for the next World Cup, says Rashid Latif – Cricket News Update
Former Pakistani captain, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rashid-Latif-c84084, has urged the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to gear up for the next World Cup, adding that it might get too late if the board waits for 2013 to begin the preparations.
The 2015 http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754. In the recent 2011 World Cup, the Green Shirts exhibited great talent, will and fighting spirit, beating some of the world’s best teams, which has boosted the nation’s morale.
They have held onto their performance since then acquiring some major Test, ODI and T20 victories. However, cricket analysts around the world speculate that most Pakistani top-of-the-line players may not be available for the next World Cup since they are
in their 30s now.
While talking to Pakpassion, Rashid said that a handful of senior players like http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Younis-Khan-c98325 and Misbah ul Haq won’t be able to hold until 2015, therefore it’s about time to bring up younger players. He feels that it is absolutely crucial to
start preparing in time.
The former wicketkeeper expressed, “A number of players will not be around for the next World Cup. When is the planning going to start for the World Cup? In 2013 when it is too late? Why not start planning and rebuilding the one day squad now for the next
World Cup by drafting some of the younger players into the team and giving them a deserving opportunity.”
He further added that the upcoming Australian and South African tours will be highly challenging for the Pakistani team and will be a test of time for their potential and consistency.
"The selectors need to start planning already for the tours of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746. You can never plan early enough especially for touring in conditions that your players are not familiar with”, said Rashid
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/United-Arab-Emirates-c3033 and it is yet to be seen if the selectors will opt for new blood or not.
