Hyderabad: Former Pakistan cricketer Shahid Afridi has blasted the Pakistan batting unit for their dismal show in the T20 World Cup matches and has suggested a reshuffle in the batting unit.
Batting has been an issue of concern for the Pakistani team in their losses against the USA and India. In their previous game against India, Pakistan bowlers dished out a clinical display bundling out the opposition on 119. The team looked to be heading for an easy win but the batting unit faltered and they ended up scoring six runs short of the target.
Reflecting on Pakistan’s batting unit, former Pakistan cricketer Shahid Afridi has suggested that Fakhar Zaman should open the innings and Babar Azam should bat at number 3.
"I think now is the time for Gary Kirsten and Babar Azam to make some changes. I would like to see Salman Ali Agha come into the side in place of Usman Khan and Abrar Ahmed to come in for Shadab Khan,” Afridi told ICC.
