Misbah-ul-Haq recalled telling them that spin bowling was the biggest problem and something had to be done in this manner. He added that an extra spinner should have been kept given the fact that Shadab Khan and Mohammad Nawaz had been giving unsatisfactory performances for a while.
Moreover, the former batter said the pace bowling was out of form then and had to consider suitable replacements for the pacers that get injured.
It is pertinent to mention that former captain Azhar Ali, speaking in the ARY News show ‘Har Lamhaa Purjosh’, had questioned why the management did not include a specialist spinner wasn’t included in the World Cup squad at the same time when Saud Shakeel and Abdullah Shafique made it to the playing eleven.
