In yesterday’s article with Cricket Psychologist Adrian McInman, we discussed a comment by Pakistan ODI captain Mohammad Rizwan about “pressure.” Adrian suggested we should focus on perceptions and change them when necessary rather than focusing on “pressure”. Additionally, he suggested strenuous and consistent mental skills training, especially around matches, is needed for the Pakistan national men’s team to stop perceiving “pressure situations” and instead view them as “fantastic opportunities.”
