Former bowler Aaqib Javed said on Monday that playing in the neighbouring nation would not be an issue for the Pakistan team as the ODI World Cup 2023, which is scheduled to take place in India, draws closer.
The former cricketer continued, “Pakistan will have no trouble playing in India.
When the Pakistani squad travels to India for the World Cup, it won’t have any trouble playing on the local fields because Pakistan has always given India a difficult time, he continued.
The Men in Blue were successful in setting a goal of 385 runs in the first ODI and posting 349 runs in the third 50-over game during India’s most recent home series against New Zealand.
“Despite the fact that lately, during an ODI series, India scored a lot of runs against New Zealand. However, Pakistan’s bowling is not comparable to that of New Zealand, and as a result, the Indian batsmen scored 400 runs “said he.
It won’t be simple for India to hit 300 runs against Pakistan, according to the Lahore Qalandars’ head coach.
“In ODI cricket, the Pakistan cricket team performs better because of its superiority in bowling. The team will benefit since Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haris Rauf, and Naseem Shah are all physically fit. Mohammad Nawaz and Shadab Khan are available to Pakistan in India, therefore the requirement for a quick bowling all-rounder won’t arise. If Pakistan scores 300 runs, the other team will find it very challenging to catch up “Added he.
Additionally, the former pacer recommended that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) create a team and keep it in place till after the World Cup to assess the situation.
