3rd T20I: Aqib Javed hints at changes in team

Pakistan cricket team head coach Aaqib Javed has hinted changes in the squad ahead of the third T201 match against New Zealand.

Terming the World Cup and Asia Cup as target, the head coach said that one to two changes are likely in the side for the third game to be played tomorrow against Kiwis.

He was hopeful for a good performance in both the mega events scheduled in the subcontinent after playing under tough conditions.

Team comprise young cricketers and we want to win series with them, he said.

Javed said although it is a difficult thing to win under the tough conditions of New Zealand but we will try to make a comeback.

He further said that it has been two years since Pakistan’s better performance in T20. Most of countries have formed their separates teams for the shortest format. We are also trying to do so and will include Saim Ayub and Fakhar Zaman in team for having a good combination.

Javed hoped Pakistan will be able to make a strong team for the World Cup and Asia Cup.

He said that Shaheen Shah Afridi needs to further improve his game. He had a great start but later after injury he had been facing problems.
