How Pakistan is preparing for West Indies after England tour defeats:
After ODI and T20 series against England in England, the Pakistani team has landed in Caribbean Island for 5 T-20s and 2 test matches against West Indies. Upon landing, everyone had Covid tests. Thankfully, no covid result came positive. Everyone is healthy and safe.
Training Session of Team Pakistan will begin from 23 July. West Indies will start Preparation for the series against Pakistan after the ODI series is finished Against Australia.
Pakistan is looking to gain some confidence by beating West Indies. Pakistan recently lost both ODI and T20 series against England. Moreover, the 5 Twenty-twenty match series is a good way to prepare for T20 Worldcup. T20 Worldcup is scheduled in UAE And Oman later this year. Pakistan’s Middle Order looks weak and this series is a good opportunity for Pakistan to overcome this weakness by trying out new players.
Babar Azam in an interview said he is aware of the mistakes Pakistan made against England. He is optimistic that we will go through these weaknesses and will perform better in upcoming matches.
PCB CEO Waseem Khan said Pakistan’s performance against England especially in ODI was sad and below par. He said if performance remains like that we have to ask some serious questions. Against England, Pakistan got whitewashed in the ODI series and Lost by 2–1 in the T20 series.
The Bottom Line:
Pakistan vs West Indies 2021 is surely going to be a tough tour for Pakistan. It is a test for Babar Azam and his squad to absorb criticism efficiently and perform well. West Indies are favorites to win the series but on their day, the Pakistani team has the capability to shock the opponent. T20 Worldcup is near so the team has to have positive morale. What will be the result of the games, Only time will tell. Make sure You stick with NaeTaze so that you can get updates about any sports-related events.
