ISLAMABAD: Asian Bradman Zaheer Abbas on Wednesday said the passion and aggression that was missing in the green-shirts was seen in the second Test against Bangladesh.
Talking to APP, Abbas while praising Azhar Ali and Younis Khan for their superb innings said the winning will power he saw in the team in the second test was lacking before. "In the previous games I didn't see match winning performances," he said.
Abbas said he don't know where the game plan was missing in the previous games. "Was it the players or the coaching staff," he questioned. Abbas said the coaches are only there to train and advise the players whereas it's the players who have to put the plan into action on the field.
"Youngsters should be groomed and given chance in the team," he said adding the Twenty-20 World Cup is next year and we should start its preparations now.
Speaking about the Zimbabwe's tour to Pakistan, Abbas while backing the tour urged the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to rope in other test playing nations immediately after this tour ends as all eyes would be set on this visit.
Abbas said the Zimbabwe's tour to Pakistan will absolutely prove successful and will help in reviving international cricket in the country. "PCB should rope in tours against the other international sides as I believe a lot of teams would be interested in visiting Pakistan," he said.
Abbas said this is very good news for all our players who have been desperately waiting to play in their homeland.
"The PCB should make the most out of this tour, as it the first Test playing nation who is touring Pakistan since 2009," he said. Abbas said he wished except Lahore, the PCB had kept matches against Zimbabwe in other cities as well, as not only the players but the whole nation is dying to see international cricket in Pakistan. "Karachi, Rawalpindi and Islamabad were some good venues," he said.
