Web Desk (LTN NEWS): Before the T20I World Cup, former Pakistani pacer Aqib Javed said there were some weak spots in the national team and wished all-rounder Shoaib Malik was on the team.
The head coach of the Lahore Qalandars told reporters that Malik is the best fielder on the team right now. He said this while praising Malik.
Javed said, “He [Shoaib Malik] is a good player. He is fit, he knows how to play against spinners at number 5, and he can also bowl two or three overs.”
The former cricketer then talked about the problems in the team, which have been heavily criticized. He said that it takes time to fix things. He said, though, that he missed some things.

“The team and its planning have been shown up in the T20I series against England,” he said.
Javed also said that the English team had a plan, which is what Pakistan didn’t have.
Babar Azam should have been the fourth player.
He said Babar Azam should have played at number 4, where the team had trouble.
He said a captain should lead from the front and play well when things are hard, but this did not happen.
He said Babar shouldn’t be stubborn and play at number 4 after Mohammad Rizwan, Fakhar Zaman, and Shan Masood, while Malik should play at number 5.
When asked about pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi, the former fast bowler said he can’t play because of an injury and hopes to see him back on the team when he is healthy.
