The head coach of the Pakistan Cricket team, Mike Hesson, has expressed full confidence in the team consisting of new players for the one-day series against Bangladesh and said that the new players have earned a chance in the national team by showing good performance in Pakistan Cricket and domestic cricket.
Speaking ahead of the team’s first training session in Dhaka, Hesson said that the team consists of experienced and new players and the team is ready to face the challenge in the conditions of Bangladesh.
“We have some new faces who have been successful in the Shaheens so they deserve a chance at the next stage. The real challenge in Bangladesh is to adapt quickly to the place and the conditions,” he said.
The head coach said that Pakistan’s last two ODI series have been very good in which the team got a big win and the top order showed outstanding performance. It will be a big test for some of the new players in the new lineup to show similar performance.
