ISLAMABAD: Former skipper and commentator Ramiz Raja has expressed his displeasure on poor performance of national cricket team against Sri Lanka in T20I matches.
He said that the Pakistan Cricket Board has done injustice by awarding Misbah-ul-Haq the coach position for all three formats of the cricket.
Raja said that former skipper [Misbah] has been burdened and he should be allowed to decide whether he could train the players for all three formats or he needs someone else to help him.
“I am telling you, Pakistan is in a dire need of a power-hitting coach right now in order to train players for short format games,” he said during an interview.
“He [Misbah-ul-Haq] has been overburdened with coaching responsibilities of all formats. The players need correction that only a power-hitting coach can do,” Raja added.
The TV pundit said that with the Twenty20 Cricket World Cup looming over, Pakistan would need to straighten up their act.
“The result of the T20 series came as no surprise as the team were under pressure after losing the first game. Many seasoned players were recalled in the T20 team but were unable to overcome the pressure-laden circumstances,” he maintained.
