Rashid Latif has said that Babar Azam cannot be held responsible for the defeats of Karachi Kings. A weak squad was selected in the draft.
In an interview with Pakistan Cricket's largest website www.cricketpakistan.com.pk, Rashid Latif said that first of all franchises should take the draft seriously. Both Karachi Kings and Quetta Gladiators showed professionalism in the selection process. Not done because it has to be prepared a month in advance.
He said that the team needs to see how many hitters for power play, batters and wrist spinners for medium overs, Chinaman or league spinners, 2 pacers bowling at 140 speed, only Sharjeel in the top three near Karachi Kings. There was no power hitter except Khan, many such mistakes were made, may not be repeated in future.
To a question, the former captain said that there is a big difference between the leadership of the franchise and the national team, the captain of Pakistan has the option to form his own team I can't force my opinion on the captain, he has to play in any situation.
I do not want to say anything about the captaincy of Babar Azam because on the day of the draft Karachi Kings seemed to be a very weak team. Chris Jordan arrives late
"I fully support Babar Azam. People should not judge his leadership abilities on the basis of PSL. He was named captain of the ICCT Twenty20 and ODI teams. Generally," he said. But there is a tendency to criticize. Especially on social media, the process of raising questions and comparing the captains of other franchises begins, as Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma were also compared.
Rashid Latif said that Babar Azam will be under pressure due to losing a lot of matches but I support him. Babar Azam while the captain has to carry the players, the cricketers and the country will be harmed by the chaos.
A series from Australia could change the history of cricket in Pakistan
Rashid Latif said that the performance of the players participating in the PSL in the home Test series against Australia will be different. After such a big series is taking place in Pakistan, matches will be enjoyed by a strong team, big stars including Steven Smith, Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins will get a chance to see in action.
He said that this series could change the history of cricket in Pakistan, after that no team will have any reason to refuse, New Zealand and England teams are also coming, hopefully Indian team will come later. We should thank Zimbabwe, West Indies and Sri Lanka for their love and support in reaching this place.
Gladiators suffered due to insufficient bench power and old players
Rashid Latif said that Quetta Gladiators had problems due to insufficient bench power and old players strategy. The squad was adequate but many players including Sohail Tanveer and Umar Akmal could not play the entire match. Moin Khan is running his academy, he doesn't have much time, the franchise needs people who work all year round.
He said that the management of teams in IPL works all year round, Gladiators are not coming out of their limits while cricket has changed a lot, in the first season data was not given much importance, if Karachi Kings, Quetta. Gladiators and a few other teams will go backwards if they do not pay attention to this. Multan Sultans had completed their homework in a professional manner at the time of drafting, they have all kinds of players.
It is not right to make anyone a hero in the performance of 1.2 matches
Rashid Latif said that it is not right to make anyone a hero in the performance of 1.2 matches. The best domestic players Wasim Jr. remained part of the national team but the franchise put him out. Haider Ali also played for Pakistan but Peshawar Zalmai repeatedly changed his batting order. Whether it is Babar Azam or Fakhruzzaman, it takes time to settle down.
He said that we are affected by sixes and then the batsmen suddenly disappear. Talent also has to be protected. Defenders who are not strong can not last long. Good talent in Abdullah Shafiq, Mohammad Haris, Qasim Akram and Zeeshan Zameer. Apparently, Mir Hamza also did a good job.
Never backing down from your goal is Qalandars' greatest achievement
Rashid Latif said that even Lahore Qalandars have never backed down from their goal. Today, 50% of the team's performance is in the hands of Fakhruzzaman. It is not easy to score 500 runs in a single event.
The biggest achievement of Lahore Qalandars is that they never backed down from their goal. No franchise has given new players to the national cricket system.
Sarfraz Ahmed has no need to change his captaincy
Rashid Latif said that Sarfraz Ahmed has no need to change his style of captaincy. He led Pakistan in the same style and won the Under-19 World Cup and Champions Trophy while Quetta Gladiators won the PSL title which is not leadership in this way. Whether he is a better captain or not, which title did he win for Pakistan or the franchise?
He said that while my style was different from that of Moin Khan, Dhoni and Gilchrist, I would never tell Sarfraz not to do that, he has his own team, if he said anything to anyone it would be temporary Yeah Al that sounds pretty crap to me, Looks like BT aint for me either.
Rashid Latif said that as a journalist you have your own style, your questions are different. It's different, your impression is different, that's why you can't be a good boy of people, if you put Sarfraz and yourself in one place, then no one can separate the two and separate the thinking.
