Hasan Ali reveals team’s motivation secret

Pakistani pacer Hasan Ali believes skipper Sarfraz Ahmed’s shouting at the players on the field motivates the team and makes them keep focusing on the game.

In an interview with Skysports, the world number one bowler said, “Sarfaraz’s shouting isn’t really him getting angry at us, it’s actually his way of reminding us that we need to keep our focus, not lose concentration and make sure that we are on our game.”

Speaking about Pakistan’s performance in the limited overs, the 23-year-old said Usman Shinwari has just came into the team and did well. “It was almost like I was bowling and taking those wickets that Usman was,” he said.

The way Shadab has come into the team and shown he is capable of winning matches in any facet of the game. “It is a treat to watch him perform and great to be a part of such an experience,” he added.

“Faheem Ashraf and Fakhar Zaman are two other new players who have come in and settled into international cricket so well. Imam-ul-Haq recently made a hundred on debut and there are so many other performances to enjoy as well,” he said.

Referring to the 2019 World Cup, Hasan said that he dreams of winning a World Cup final. “The other part of my dream is to win the best bowler of the tournament at a World Cup and I hope that I can fulfill that dream in 2019,” he said.
