We will try to resolve middle order issues: Misbah-ul-Haq

Pakistan cricket team head coach Misbah-ul-Haq has said that the team management will focus on two places in the middle order ahead of the T20 World Cup later this year. In fact, since Misbah took over as the head coach, 14 players have been tried by Pakistan at these two venues. It is learned that next month, Azam Khan and Shoaib Maqsood will compete to cement their place in the middle order. Misbah said in a statement on Sunday, “The PSL (Pakistan Super League) has clarified a few things. I think number five and number six are the places we are trying to fill. We’ve got a problem with these. Now we have Azam Khan and Soheb Maqsood to see if they can do it and what combination we can combine with them.

“Overall, with the bowling we know about, we have a very good attack,” the coach said. At the top of the order we have four players and their replacements which are a bit more. We know our team more or less, but at some places we need to focus on the next two series. We try that all the players that we have here are fully prepared and we trust them to go on the field and perform. Undoubtedly Azam is a talented player, although he has been a bit out of form lately, but everyone knows that in modern T20 cricket, he has the power and strike rate you need at number five or six , so to try them out we just have to see what combination we want to go with.

Misbah said, it is always good to have more and more players in good form and good mindset, but you learn from cricket that it doesn’t matter, because sometimes you have good form and runs, but still you You may not perform well and sometimes you are not in good form, but you come with more focus and work hard to regain that form.

It is noteworthy that the Pakistan team has reached England two days ago. They have enough T20 cricket to settle middle order issues. Pakistan has to play three ODIs and three T20 matches against T20 World Cup 2016 runners-up England on their soil. After this, he will play five T20 matches against the West Indies.
