imageFormer Pakistani batsman Ramiz Raja has urged his countrymen Mohammad Hafeez to not let the past affect their performance. In an interview with local media, Ramiz chose Mohammad Hafeez and Shan Masood as the opening pair for the Lord’s Test that commences from July 14.

The 57 year old is hoping that Hafeez steps up and makes good use of his form in the longest format of the game. “It has to be Hafeez and Masood for Lord’s and more than their techniques, I think their body language needs to be positive,” said Ramiz.

He further added, “Our record against England in recent years has been pretty special [Test series wins in UAE in 2012 and 2015] and openers must carry that feel-good factor.”

With less than two weeks to go before Pakistan take on England in the first of four Test matches which begin at Lord’s on July 14.
