In this meeting, there was a long discussion about the template and squad of ODI cricket. After the meeting, Shahid Afridi told that, ‘Our meeting went well. His attitude was positive. We want Pakistan team to play positive cricket. We hope that both of us will work together like this for the betterment of cricket.
In Pakistan’s Test cricket, Afridi surrounded his own team regarding the pitch. He said, ‘It is our endeavor that Pakistan becomes the number one team. For this the pitch needs to be better. Should be a good wicket. There is fear in the hearts of our players. We want to take away that fear. So that these same players of ours go to play in England, South Africa and Australia and perform well. We want to change that mindset. We want the new fast bowlers to get good wickets as well. For this we have to prepare at home. Will try to make a good pitch.
