Pakistan U-19 captain Rohail Nazir on Thursday said that he was hopeful of his team performing well and not disappointing the fans in the upcoming 2020 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup in South Africa.
The wicketkeeper-batsman said that his team had undergone a month-long rigorous training camp with additional one-on-one sessions under the supervision of head coach Ijaz Ahmed.
“The team trained for a month, during which time our head coach prepared us for power hitting and pressure management,” Nazir said.
Furthermore, the skipper said that his players would have the upper hand in the tournament due to their familiarity with the conditions there, thanks to last year’s tour of South Africa.
“The team has some know-how of the pitches in South Africa and my team members are good too, so I think we have a winning combination.”
Meanwhile, former skipper Sarfaraz Ahmed, head coach Misbah-ul-Haq and bowling coach Waqar Younis paid visits to the U19 training camp this week and gave the team useful tips. The also reminded the starlets that the platform could open the doors of international cricket on them.
The team will leave for South Africa on Friday from Lahore.
