Karachi: Pakistan Fast Bowler Naseem Shah has expressed disappointment with the team’s shaky start in their opening match of the ICC Champions Trophy, but remained optimistic about turning things around in the upcoming games.
Shah, who spoke to journalists in the mixed zone after Pakistan’s loss, emphasized the need to tackle errors and focus on improvement.
“When you don’t start well, it’s natural to feel disappointed,” Shah said. “There are quite a few things we need to solve before the next important match. We need to fix our mistakes and focus on the next game. “
Shah, a key figure in Pakistan’s bowling attack, highlighted the challenges presented by the pitch conditions during the fight. “In seats like these, bowlers do not get much help. Big scores are very likely here, ”he noted.
As reflected on the team’s performance, Shah admitted that the final overs did not go as planned. “The last six to eight overs did not go as we wanted them to. We need to look at how we can improve in these areas in the next matches, ”he said.
Despite the setback, Shah emphasized the importance of maintaining team morality. “It’s not like we have to collapse completely after a bad fight. We don’t have to let our morals fall. There are two more matches and we will try to win both, ”he added.
While Shah is primarily known for his bowling, he revealed that he has also worked with his batting. “My main focus is bowling, but I’m also working on my batting. In club matches, I try to look higher in the order, which allows me to bend my muscle with bats, ”he said.
