Is there a future for Misbahul Haq and Waqar Younis?
The head coach and bowling coach duo has caused more problems than they have solved during their tenure
KARACHI:
South Africa have landed in Pakistan for a historic tour where they will play two Tests and three T20Is in Karachi, Rawalpindi and Lahore, but the series will prove to be more than just about the revival of international cricket.
Pakistan’s last series against New Zealand, where the visitors were able to win only one T20I and lost the other two T20Is and both Tests, was dismal to say the least. While Pakistan head coach Misbahul Haq and Waqar Younis may hide behind the fact that they were without the services of all-format captain Babar Azam, it was also their lack of initiative which caused the humiliation.
I needed to prove my form and my fitness and I did that : Hassan Ali
Once regarded as one of Pakistan s top prospects, Hassan Ali last played in Pakistan colours in June 2019. A combination of bad form and injuries seemed to put on hold the career of the fast-bowler who has so far taken 148 international wickets and in 2017 was the top ranked bowler in the ICC ODI Player Rankings and was also the player of the tournament in the Champions Trophy of the same year.
In an exclusive interview with PakPassion.net, Hassan spoke about coping with the injuries which kept him out of cricket for 16 months, the high workload that contributed to his injuries, what needs to be done to avoid burnout for young bowlers in Pakistan, his excellent performances in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, why he was shocked to hear about Mohammad Amir s retirement from international cricket and his own aspirations to make a comeback to the Pakistan team.

Former Pakistani bowling coach Azhar Mahmood has blamed the current coaching staff for Pakistan’s series loss against New Zealand,
Talking to media at MOU signing ceremony of Kashmir Premier League (KPL) and Muslim Hands, the 45-year-old said that national team’s coaches have no vision.
“The present coaching staff has no vision as they have no idea where this team is heading to. The worst performance was seen in New Zealand,” he said. “Acknowledged that Babar Azam’s factor was very prominent but fighting spirit was seen missing in all departments.”
