MULTAN
\nPakistan\u2019s Test Vice-Captain Saud Shakeel said on Saturday the national team was confident to rectify its mistakes in the test series against England.
\nTalking to the media ahead of the Test series against England, he expressed confidence in his team\u2019s preparation and the potential to exploit England\u2019s aggressive playing style. He said that just one day left before the start of the match, he shared his thoughts on the pitch, game plan, and the team\u2019s mindset.
\nCommenting on the pitch conditions in Multan, Saud Shakeel admitted uncertainty. \u201cAt this point, it was hard to predict how the pitch will behave. It could be fast or slow, he said.
\nDespite not having a concrete idea of the wicket, Shakeel emphasized that Pakistan was ready for all scenarios.
\n\u201cThere was a big difference between a captain and a vice-captain.<\/p>\n
The vice-captain highlighted the difference in roles between captain and vice-captain, acknowledging the significant responsibilities that rest on captain\u2019s shoulders.<\/p>\n
The captain has a lot more responsibility,\u201d Shakeel explained.
\nShakeel also reflected on the team\u2019s recent performances, acknowledging that they did not play well in the previous series. However, he was confident in Pakistan\u2019s ability to learn from past mistakes and put pressure on England.
\n\u201cOur goal was to force England into making mistakes\u201d he said and added that the England play attacking cricket, but with that comes opportunities for us to capitalize on their errors.
\nThe Pakistan vice-captain was optimistic about his team\u2019s chances, particularly against England\u2019s relatively inexperienced fast bowlers. \u201cTheir fast bowlers do not have as much experience, and the team aims to take advantage of that, he remarked. \u201c
\nDespite the aggressive brand of cricket England was known for, Shakeel remains confident in Pakistan\u2019s ability to deliver. \u201cWe are here to perform and execute our plans. We were close to winning in the previous Test matches, and now we hope to deliver a strong performance. Said added\u201d
\nShakeel also put to rest any rumors of division within the squad, affirming that the team was united and in good spirits. \u201cThere was no groupism in the team. The environment in the dressing room was excellent and the team was fully prepared for the Test series,\u201d he said.
\nWith high hopes for the upcoming match, Saud Shakeel\u2019s confidence reflects Pakistan\u2019s readiness to challenge England and deliver an exciting series for fans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
