Babar Azam, Pakistan’s all-format captain, stated on Monday that he thinks spinners will be crucial in Sri Lankan conditions as the Men in Green prepare for a two-match Test series there later this month.
Yasir Shah, Nauman Ali, and Mohammad Nawaz, left-arm spinners, will be crucial for them in Tests against Sri Lanka, according to Babar, who stated this in a press conference prior to departure.
From July 16 to July 28 in Galle and Colombo, Pakistan will play a two-match Test series against Sri Lanka.
The first game will be played from July 16 to 20 at the Galle International Cricket Stadium, and the second game will be played at the R Premadasa International Cricket Stadium in Colombo from July 24 to 28.
“Yasir has rejoined our team, and he is in good shape. The other two crucial options for us to prevail in Sri Lankan conditions that typically favor spinners are Nauman and Nawaz “Babar, who was frequently spotted bowling during scenario-based practice matches in Rawalpindi, said.
“We’ve done a good job of preparing for the spin game. Sri Lankan conditions resemble those in Pakistan quite a bit. On rotating tracks in Lahore, we practice sweep shots with our batters “Added him.
Suggestions from Shoaib Akhtar
Shoaib Akhtar, a former Pakistani speedster, met fast bowlers while at the national team’s spring training.
Babar claimed that Akhtar’s encounter with pacers gave them a lot to learn. Shoaib Bhai gave our fast bowlers some helpful advice, Babar told a reporter.
“I think our pace bowlers can succeed in any circumstance. I’m hoping and anticipating seeing how they perform in Sri Lanka “Added he.
