Moin highlighted that several young players are emerging from different franchises and said it’s a positive sign for Pakistan cricket.

“There’s good talent coming through. We’ve identified some of it, and the deserving players are getting opportunities,” he added.

Moin downplayed age concerns in T20 cricket, backing veteran all-rounder Shoaib Malik to shine despite criticism.

“An average age of 30 isn’t much. It brings experience,” he said while praising Shoaib Malik’s fitness and contributions to the side.

He also acknowledged the effect of dew in night matches and shed light on the playing conditions ahead of their crucial encounter against Karachi Kings.

“We’ve been practicing for the past three days. Dew becomes a big factor. If it continues, it’ll be a challenge. Chasing teams have a clear edge in such conditions,” he concluded.
