LAHORE: Pakistan cricket team, under the captaincy of Babar Azam, has a strong chance to clinch the upcoming International Cricket Council (ICC) Men’s one-day International (ODI) World Cup scheduled to be held in India this year, said former skipper Misbahul Haq.
During an interaction with journalists in Lahore on Saturday, Misbah said the Pakistan team management should devise a strategy for the mega event.
“Pakistan has a strong chance to win the World Cup in India this year,” said the former player, who captained the national team in ICC World Cup 2015 in Australia.
“Three of our batters are in the top ICC rankings. We have good bowling options. There is a need to just make the right plans at the right time. Select a competitive team and make your way in the World Cup strongly,” the ex-cricketer suggested.
The Green Shirts last won the 50-over format World Cup in 1992 under the captaincy of Imran Khan. Misbah also thinks that batting would be a key to victory in India.
“Batters take complete advantage on Indian wickets. Our batters need to work hard and make solid plans before going into the World Cup,” he reiterated.
“We need to organize more ODIs for our team. Match practice will help our players get in rhythm before the big event,” he concluded.
