Pakistan captain Babar Azam has rebuffed any notion of disunity within the team, asserting that they consistently operate as a cohesive unit.
Addressing the media ahead of the crucial encounter against New Zealand in Lahore, Babar emphasized the team’s strong bond, highlighting how setbacks only serve to strengthen their resolve.
“Our bonding is solid. Yes, when we lose, we discuss the merits and demerits and it further strengthens our bonding as a team,” Babar Azam remarked during the press conference.
Looking ahead to the ongoing series against New Zealand, Babar shed light on Pakistan’s strategic approach, emphasizing the importance of experimentation in shaping a formidable squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup.
“Our primary objective in this series is to explore different combinations and provide ample opportunities to players,” Babar explained.
“And if we switch over any player to a different spot, we will do it by discussing with him. Everything is happening through proper understanding and communication. Every player is being taken into confidence and our motive is to raise the country’s performance graph.”
In the face of criticism and scrutiny, Babar remained resolute in his commitment to prioritizing the team’s interests above all else. “Criticism doesn’t deter our focus. Our decisions are guided by what benefits the team,” he affirmed.
Responding to inquiries about the impact of rigorous Kakul training camp on players’ decreasing fitness levels, Babar underscored the importance of maintaining peak physical condition amidst the demands of international cricket.
“Injuries are part of the game but we try to look after every player. A camp always helps you with fitness and mental health. It never happened to me or any other that we did not focus on fitness.
“We are trying to give opportunities to the available 15 to 16 players so that they could prove themselves in different conditions and get ready for the task.”
With the series finely poised, Pakistan’s unwavering unity and strategic approach bode well for their quest to clinch victory against New Zealand in the upcoming encounter.
As Babar and his men gear up for the challenge, they remain steadfast in their pursuit of excellence on the cricketing stage.
