Asia Cup 2022 LIVE – Pakistan Pace Attack: Mohammad Hasnain has replaced left-arm pacer Shaheen Afridi in Pakistan’s 15-member squad for the T20 Asia Cup 2022, which begins on August 27.
Afridi was ruled out of the upcoming Asia Cup after being advised a four-six weeks rest by the medical team following an injury to the right knee ligament.
Mushtaq showed faith in right-arm pacers Naseem Shah, Mohammad Hasnain and Haris Rauf to deliver great performances.
The head coach also said that coaches from the high-performance centre will be travelling with the team and the philosophy behind it is a “Working Together” philosophy.
“The coaches at the high-performance centre will go up with the main side and see how things are done. So when they return to the high-performance centre, these coaches will be able to work on lines of that philosophy,” he added.
Mushtaq dismissed any concerns for hot weather conditions in UAE.
“In professionalism, these things come and go. Sometimes you play during day, sometimes at night. Sometimes it is white-ball cricket, sometimes it is red ball. Sometimes it is the longer format, sometimes it is the shorter format. Oppositions keep changing. It is our requirement that we do not think about this, think about our plans, adapt and execute them quickly,” he added.
