\nPakistan\u2019s loss to Afghanistan in the first game of the three-match T20I series has left the bowling coach, Umar Gul, reflecting on what went wrong for his team.
\nSpeaking during the post-match conference, Gul highlighted the challenging conditions that the players had to contend with, having transitioned from batting-conducive conditions.
\n\u201cIt was our first game and our players were exposed to totally different conditions here because they were playing in batting-conducive conditions during PSL,\u201d said Umar Gul.
\nGul, however, expressed confidence in the team\u2019s ability to make a comeback, stating that they would work on their mistakes and will be in full rhythm in remaining matches.
\n\u201cWe will work on the mistakes and make tactical adjustments. The bowlers stuck to their plans and execution was good. They are young players and the way Ihsnaullah continued his rhythm, getting two wickets early on was pleasing to see,\u201d he said.
\nThe 40-year-old was satisfied with the team\u2019s bowling and believed that they had bowled in good areas. Despite the loss, he maintained that he has confidence in the young players.
\n\u201cIt is a great platform for young players to perform at the international level. Overall, I am satisfied with the bowling and they bowled in good areas,\u201d Gul said.
\n\u201cOur team is good; these youngsters have been performing in domestic for one and a half years or so. You can\u2019t say on the basis of one match that they are not good enough. I strongly believe we have the potential to make a comeback and win the last two games,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
