LAHORE: Former Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq has claimed that opportunities need to be provided to different players.
The legendary batter named Shoaib Malik, Shan Masood, and Sharjeel Khan as three players who need to be tested on the back of a disappointing run of Pakistan openers in the Asia Cup 2022.
The 52-year-old further added that the middle order did not perform up to the mark during the recently concluded tournament.
“Pakistan’s performance in the Asia Cup 2022 were not that good but what is more worrying is that the middle-order did not step up when they were required to. The conditions of the World Cup in Australia will be extremely difficult and the conditions need to be kept in mind before the selection,” said Inzamam while talking to media during an event in Lahore.
Building on the players that should feature in the team, Inzamam said, “I think Shoaib Malik, Sharjeel Khan, and Shan Masood can play a great role for Pakistan given the current situation.”
He further added that the seven-T20I series will be a good audition for players to make a statement in regards to their call-up for the World Cup later this year.
