Peshawar Zalmi wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Haris has recently admitted that Pakistan cricket is falling behind in adapting to the ever-evolving demands of the modern game.
In a candid chat with a local news channel, the 24-year-old didn’t shy away from highlighting how far the rest of the cricketing world has surged ahead in terms of playing style, mindset, and approach.
“The world has gone far ahead of Pakistan when it comes to modern-day cricket,” Haris said.
Known for his aggressive stroke play and fearless intent, Haris revealed that he has started structuring his training sessions around the contemporary demands of the game, regularly consulting coaches to stay in sync with the global standard.
“I train with the demands of modern cricket in mind. I constantly discuss with my coaches how to effectively adopt this approach,” he added.
“My goal is to participate in future events aligned with the current requirements of modern-day cricket.”
Mohammad Haris emphasised that batting positions in T20s are crucial, but he stressed that his main focus is on the team’s needs.
“Batting number is crucial for any player, but I am always ready to play at any position. I have no issue batting at various spots because my main goal is to perform for the team regardless of the role,” he further stated.
Haris, who has often been seen interacting with senior players during series and training camps, stressed the value of learning from experienced campaigners like Babar Azam, but was quick to point out that self-discipline and personal effort ultimately determine growth.
“I regularly learn different aspects of batting from senior players. Whenever I get a chance, I talk with experienced players like Babar Azam,” he said.
“But no matter how much the seniors guide you, in the end, it is the player who must put in the hard work.”
