Legendary Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq has said that it is “vital” for head coach Misbah-ul-Haq and the rest of the team management to boost the morale of the national team ahead of the second Test against England.
Inzamam noted that the players’ morale will be low following their three-wicket loss in the first Test in Manchester.
Pakistan looked to be on track for victory, but Jos Buttler and Chris Woakes denied them the opportunity to go 1-0 up in the series with their match-winning scores of 75 and 84 not out respectively.
Inzamam added that Misbah and the team management need to focus on the positives in the first Test rather than the negatives.
“The role of the team management is vital after such a defeat because the players’ morale will be down. They need to talk about the positives, like scoring 300 plus runs and the first innings lead, rather than focusing on the negatives,” Inzamam said on his YouTube channel as quoted by Cricket Pakistan.
The second Test between England and Pakistan will begin on Thursday in Southampton.
