Former Pakistan cricketer Faisal Iqbal has lashed out at the national team’s batsmen, saying they have been “failing badly” in the intra-squad practice matches in England.
Using the ongoing four-day practice game in Derby as an example, Faisal pointed out that the batsmen in the squad have failed to make their presence felt.
He added that if the senior batsmen don’t step up, the youngsters in the squad will automatically come under more pressure to perform.
He advised the Pakistan team to keep working hard ahead of the upcoming Test and T20 series against England.
