Cricket star Shahid Afridi shared some valuable tips with Captain Babar Azam and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) administration ahead of the ICC World Cup 2023.
Shahid Afridi mentioned that the entire nation is supporting Babar Azam, who is leading an experienced team, and he needs to establish his authority as captain throughout the tournament.
He also noted the importance of having Mickey Arthur there, as his role will be crucial. Additionally, Inzamam-ul-Haq is also present in India.
Shahid Afridi emphasized that most of the Pakistan cricket team players are playing in Hyderabad for the first time. Captaining Babar will require handling pressure as the most crucial thing is to cope with pressure.
Furthermore, he said that it's crucial for the senior PCB officials to sit down with the captain and instill confidence in him so that his body language reflects a champion.
Shahid Afridi advised Babar to instill confidence in the players. During that time, players will be watching movies, having dinners, offering prayers, and seeking blessings. Babar should trust the players who win matches throughout the tournament.
It's essential for this message to be visible both on and off the ground that Babar Azam should have such close relationships with his match winners and key players that they can discuss game plans with him.
