KARACHI: Former Pakistan all-rounder Abdul Razzaq on Sunday shared his views on the national team squad selection for the upcoming Tri-Series and Asia Cup 2025.
Razzaq lauded the team selection, praising the emerging players for their strong performances.
“Over the last three to four months, teams have been picked on merit, and players who perform are getting their chances,” Abdul Razzaq said.
He mentioned the inclusion of new players and called the UAE a favourable place for the Pakistan team.
“The selectors have chosen the best team, and the inclusion of youngsters is a very positive sign. This squad has the potential to perform well in the UAE. I believe Pakistan can not only win the tri-nation event but also triumph in the Asia Cup,” Razzaq added.
“The team looks motivated and united. Our good wishes are always with them, and it’s clear everyone is focused on playing for Pakistan. This team is our best team and I hope they will perform really well,” he concluded.
For the unversed, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has tasked Abdul Razzaq with addressing Pakistan’s longstanding problem of reliable power hitters.
Razzaq, who was also renowned for his exceptional ball-striking ability during a 17-year international career, is the head coach of the strike force program.
The PCB Strike Force programme will continue throughout the year, with elite and emerging players invited to camps regularly to improve their power hitting.
