Pakistan opening batsman Imam-ul-Haq said he doesn’t need to work on his discipline since it has never been a problem.
He noted no one has ever spoken to him about having a bad attitude.
Instead, the 29-year-old has been focusing his attention on his batting in general as he constantly wants to get better.
“I have worked a lot on my batting and shot development but honestly I have not worked on improving discipline like you asked because I have never had such a problem nor has anyone spoken to me about any attitude issues with me,” Imam was quoted as saying by NDTV.
Imam recently played in Pakistan’s two-Test series against South Africa and struck 119 runs, which included a top score of 93, at an average of 29.75.
After the Tests, the men in green defeated the Proteas 2-1 in both the T20Is and ODIs.
Pakistan are now involved in a three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka and find themselves 1-0 up at the moment.
Their next assignment will be a T20I tri-series against Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe from November 18 to 29.
