Translate In Arabic

“Fakhar Zaman has been in exceptional form, but fitness issues have been an obstacle,” Javed stated. "Once these concerns are addressed, I have no doubt he will be back in the team."

Javed, who has taken on the dual responsibility of coach and selector, dismissed concerns about potential conflicts, stating that managing both roles had not caused any problems. “There have been no issues whatsoever. The focus remains on performance and team strategy,” he said.

In his comments, Javed also emphasized the need for adaptability in modern cricket. He explained that while Asia presents unique challenges with its high scoring rates, players must adjust their tactics accordingly. "T20 cricket requires an aggressive approach, and scoring rates naturally rise in this region. Our target is clear: players must raise their strike rates and adapt to the conditions,” he added.

Javed’s remarks come at a pivotal time as Pakistan looks to recalibrate its cricketing strategies ahead of future international engagements. Fans will be eager to see how these plans unfold, particularly with the potential return of Fakhar Zaman to the squad.
