Former Pakistan opener, Imran Nazir, believes that he can improve the poorfielding and power-hitting abilities of Pakistani cricketers. Pakistan’spoor fielding played a vital role in a humiliating defeat in the recentlyconcluded Test series against New Zealand. Pakistan dropped 12 catches inthe two-match Test series, the most by any team in the past ten years.——————————

Pakistan’s fielding standards have drastically worsened since the formerfielding coach, Steve Rixon, left the post. However, Nazir backs himself tobe the right man to solve this issue.

“I get disappointed when I don’t see the right people in charge, who shouldbe teaching these two aspects of the game. I have not seen the samefielding skills as mine in the Pakistan team since I left cricket,” saidNazir.

Nazir was highly critical of Pakistan’s power-hitting ability as well. Hesaid that Pakistan does not have a genuine power-hitter in the team, andthat is one of the main reasons that Pakistan’s limited-overs side isfalling behind the rest of the world and is playing outdated cricket.——————————

“Since me and Shahid Afridi left, only Sharjeel Khan has come through thecircuit as a genuine power-hitter,” he added.

Nazir said that he believes in his abilities, and he can improve the twoaspects of Pakistan cricket if he is offered the coaching role.

Nazir was widely regarded as Pakistan’s best fielder during his playingdays, and his power-hitting at the top of the order earned him huge praiseall around the world. However, his career was cut short due to injuries,and he could not recover fully to make it back into the national side.
