KARACHI: Pakistan National Women’s team’s bowling coach Saleem Jaafer emphasized the need of working more in the fast bowling department.

Saleem, while talking to the media post and prior to the T20I and ODI series respectively, praised the women’s team’s bowlers for bowling and performing as per the plan while also stressing the need of working more in the fast bowling department.

“Women cricketers performed as per the plan. The seniors and the debutants both performed well and produced exceptional results despite the tough weather conditions,” Saleem stated.

“I think we need to work more on the fast bowling. The spinners, on the other hand, have been exceptional in the T20I series,” he maintained.
