Taufeeq Umar is happy with Pakistan’s success in the last year – Cricket News Update
Pakistan’s opening batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Taufeeq-Umar-c92889, who is over the moon with his team's performance in 2011, said that the players worked as a unit in all three formats of the game which is why the team regained its lost spot among the best cricketing nations of
the world.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 cricket was on a slump after the baffling spot-fixing controversy of the trio. Most cricket analysts thought of this controversy as a back-breaking factor with long term effects. However, the Green Shirts smoothly recovered from the phase and once
again rode to the heights of success.
Pakistan reached 2011 http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747. On top of
that, Pakistan won Test series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760.
In an interview to Pakpassion, Pakistan’s opening Test batsman expressed satisfaction over his team's performance during 2011. He also expressed delight over his own performance, but said that the overall team performance is more important to him. According
to him, credit goes to team work for the success.
Taufeeq said, “2011 was a very good year for Pakistan cricket, things went very well. We performed well as individuals, and most importantly as a team. The most pleasing thing when looking back over the last year is that all the players performed well, we
didn’t rely on one or two individuals to carry the team and everybody played their cricket with responsibility and pride.”
When http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shahid-Afridi-c2482 was dismissed as captain of the ODI squad, it was thought that the team will go on a decline once again. However, Taufeeq feels that the morale of the team is very high at the moment and the players are enjoying each other’s success.
“The players have gelled very well and are backing each other which is great to be a part of”, he added.
Pakistan’s next assignment is against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/United-Arab-Emirates-c3033 with the first Test beginning from the 17th of January.
