Head coach applauds Shadab, Fakhar and Faheem for their fearlessness

Praising Faheem Ashraf, Shadab Khan and Fakhar Zaman, Pakistan Head Coach Mickey Arthur said the team needs such players who can play fearlessly.

Talking to the media following the crushing 5-0 whitewash against New Zealand, Arthur said "Shadab, Faheem and Fakar - these are the guys who don’t fear anything."

"They have done it under pressure and they did it for us in the Champions Trophy," said the head coach. "Fakhar changed the tempo for us in Champions Trophy by playing fearless cricket," he added. "They play with that freedom and that's where we need to get to," Arthur added.

Speaking about Pakistan’s performance in the series, Arthur said, "Our top order just hasn’t done the job for this series."

"Haris Sohail came in and gave us a bit of stability," he said. "Haris showed us a lot, which should go well for him in one day cricket in the future," Arthur added.

"When we play in our conditions, we dominate, as our guys are comfortable and they play very well there," he said, backing Pakistan team. "For them, this is like playing in the North Pole but you live on the South Pole. It is so different but we got to be better than that," he added.

Arthur further said,"Every team in their own conditions is a very good team. You judge a team by the way they play away from home."

"New Zealand played exceptionally well away from home in India. Congrats to Mike and Kane as they have a pretty good unit going at the moment," the head coach said.
