In a recent interview on a private television channel, Pakistan all-rounder Shadab Khan expressed firm support for former captain Babar Azam, emphasizing the unfairness of solely attributing the World Cup performance to the skipper.
Khan defended the team’s capabilities, asserting that they had the potential to reach the World Cup final but faced challenges across all aspects of the game during the tournament.
Admitting his own shortcomings with the ball in the World Cup, the Islamabad United cricketer acknowledged the need for improvement. He revealed his dedication to playing more first-class cricket to enhance his performance in One Day Internationals (ODIs).
Addressing the upcoming National T20 Cup semi-final, Shadab Khan expressed his commitment to making himself available for the crucial match, highlighting his determination to contribute to the team’s success.
Switching gears, Khan discussed the inclusion of fast bowler Naseem Shah in Islamabad United for the upcoming Pakistan Super League (PSL) edition.
He revealed that every team desired Naseem Shah’s services, and the United management made considerable efforts to secure the deal. Khan expressed his admiration for Naseem Shah, citing him as a favorite bowler from the outset.
As Shadab Khan continues to rally behind Babar Azam and strategizes his own improvement path, his insights shed light on the dynamics within the cricketing world, offering fans a glimpse into the mindset of one of Pakistan’s prominent players.
