Pakistan’s former fast bowling great and former coach, Waqar Younis said that the team’s biggest problem was that the top batsmen had technical issues which they were not working on. “The batsmen keep on getting out in the same fashion. Mohammad Hafeez, Imran Farhat, Azhar Ali, etc, they all have flaws. They need to work them out. We need to decide on a stable batting line-up,” Waqar said.
He also felt that since Pakistan had lost the one-day series there was nothing wrong with experimenting in the final match and giving the young players the confidence to bat higher in the order. He also felt that if Shoaib Malik was in the team he should be given a chance to open or bat at number three to get back into form. “If he can’t still prove himself then we should say goodbye to him. But I think he needs to be given one final chance to prove himself at the top of the order,” Waqar said.
