Pakistan Cricket Team still favs
Despite his concerns, Hafeez includes Pakistan in his list of potential semi-finalists, alongside India, West Indies, and England. However, he acknowledges that India and the home team, West Indies, might be better positioned due to superior tactics and playing conditions.
Pakistan recent performances raise Questions
Mohammad Hafeez highlights Pakistan’s underwhelming recent results, including a 2-2 draw against a young New Zealand team and a close 2-1 series win over Ireland after losing the first game. He feels these performances fall short of expectations for a full-strength Pakistani side.
Individual Talent, Collective Concerns
Hafeez acknowledges Pakistan’s talented players but emphasizes a lack of collective dominance and the right winning attitude.
“They have every player in their arsenal but unfortunately, as of now, such mindset, body language and dominance, which we think Pakistan should have achieved, were not attained,” Hafeez concluded.
