In the 2017 Asia Cup and ODI World Cup, newly appointed head coach Grant Bradburn hopes to change that and demands that his team play an aggressive style of cricket. Pakistan played effectively but was unable to win the 2022 T20 World Cup and Asia Cup. The Men in Green made it to the finals on both occasions, but their defensive strategy in the final cost them both of their games.
In line with Pakistan’s goal of winning both the Asia Cup and World Cup in 2023, he acknowledged that training for the same had already begun in the nets. He did, however, emphasize that they need demonstrate their skills on the field as well, not just in nets. Grant Bradburn added that the coaching staff is making a demand, not just making a simple communication.
“We aren’t practicing to demonstrate our net talents. We want to make advantage of those abilities during the game. It’s also not a request made by coaches to the athletes. Because of how the game is developing on a worldwide scale, they must be a part of the team. Cricket is a game we want to win. We have to ask our athletes to do it. Continuous advancement is being made in the game. Bradburn was reported by ESPN cricinfo as adding, “And we want to be leaders of the game.
Our starting XI is pretty apparent to you: Grant Bradburn
The management of the team feels confident in their starting lineup for the forthcoming Asia Cup and ODI World Cup, Grant Bradburn added. He said that players who play an aggressive style of cricket have been given priority because they want to take advantage of the middle overs, a time period that the Babar Azam-led team has struggled to take advantage of recently.
“The selection process has been challenging in some aspects, but it has been fairly simple in our opinion. And by that, I mean that we have a pretty clear idea of who will start, how we will bat, and how we will approach the game. We know exactly how we want to approach the game, especially in the middle overs. Pakistan hasn’t performed as well in the middle overs as it could have.
We are putting a lot of effort into honing the abilities that will allow us to attack that middle innings time with some aggression, not just with the bat but also with the ball and how we position ourselves on the field. During such time, we aim to score wickets, the player continued.
