Pakistan head coach Mickey Arthur has insisted that he is not concerned about Azhar Ali and Asad Shafiq’s struggles with the bat.

In the recently concluded two-Test series against England, Azhar only scored 67 runs at an average of 16.75.

While Shafiq fared better, his performance wasn’t up to par as he accumulated 91 runs, which included a fifty, at an average of 30.33.

Despite failing to make their presence felt against England, Arthur is refusing to panic as he is confident they will turn their fortunes around going forward.

“This is not a concern for me at all,” he told PakPassion. “I genuinely believe that both Azhar and Asad have the temperament, technique and the drive and desire to be very successful for us. I am not concerned because I know of the ability they have and the ability to deliver for us in the end without a doubt.”
