“I know we have lost last seven ODI series in the past couple of years. Well it makes a huge difference since we have missed out some key players,” he said.
“We are trying from the start to get the team back to a shape before the World Cup but something or the other problem is coming up,” he said.
“So I hope that ICC and PCB solves the problem and put these things in the side and work towards building a good team and ensure that there are no much problems in every match,” he commented.
He refused to talk about mysterious departure of team wicketkeeper Zulqarnain Haider from the team hotel, but said that his absence did not affect the team.
“Our batting and even bowling was bad. Let it be bowling or batting we need to get a good start is very important,”he said.
“We did not get a good start with the bowling and was very bad.
We actually fought back in between bowling well and looked like that we could get them out early but in the power play they around 65 runs which turned out to be expensive and it took the match away,” he said.
“I think second innings chasing such a huge total is not easy every time and three wickets of Younis, Yousuf and Shahzaib to Kallis was the turning point of the match,” he pointed out.
“If you chasing a score like this and I think losing wickets like that at any stage it will put pressure,” Shahid Afridi, who will be heading home after his one-day assignment pointed out.
Commenting on off-break bowler, he said Saeed Ajmal will play in the team if he performs well.
To a question about Shahzaib Hasan, he said they have given him lot of chances and he was looking good today.
“We played fairly well in this series. We did not take pressure on ourselves and every game tried to motivate ourselves and its a positive thing,” he said while looking back on the series.
