The coach of the Pakistan Under-19 team, Sabih Azhar is extremely happy with the talent at his disposal at the junior level and he expressed his satisfaction over the performance of his team during the recent tour of South Africa and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Zimbabwe-c3045.
Pakistan cricket gives a lot of emphasis to junior level cricket and this is the reason why a number of teenagers find their way to the senior squad. Many cricketers who play internationally for Pakistan come through the ranks of Under-19 cricket in the
country.  
The Pakistan Under-19 team has been doing a splendid job since the last ten years. In that period they have won two World Cups and a number of other junior cricket events.
The youngsters toured Africa recently and won most of their matches but lost the final of the tri-nations tournament against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757.
In spite of the loss, Sabih is satisfied with the performance of his boys on tour. While speaking to pakpassion, the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 Under-19 Coach said that the conditions in South Africa are very different from those encountered in the sub-continent and it was
a massive challenge for the youngsters to deliver the goods overseas, considering that most of the players were playing outside the country for the very first time.   
Sabih said, “The team performance was very good. It was a challenging tour but the players performed well. For a lot of them it was their first international exposure. Conditions were new for the boys, but they gave some very good performance.” 
Historically, the Pakistani batsmen have struggled in South Africa because of the pace and bounce on offer. However, the youngsters performed amicably and this augurs well for the future.
Sabih singled out a few young cricketers who have the potential to make the step up.
“Many players have shown good performance. In batting, Sami Aslam has performed very well. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Usman-Qadir-c94698, Ehsan
Adil and Zia-ul Haq have also bowled very well on tour,” he added.
