Shadab and Faheem bring the fearless attitude in this Pakistan team: Misbah-ul-Haq

The Pakistan team has been performing really well across the three formats of the game. They recently drew the Test series 1-1 in England, won the tri-series against Zimbabwe and Australia and then registered a clean sweep in the five-match ODI series against Zimbabwe. Former Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq showered praises on two of the young cricketers, all-rounder Faheem Ashraf and leg-spinner Shadab Khan, for bringing in the blazing and flashing energy with them into this current Pakistan team.

Both Faheem and Shadab have been instrumental in the recent success of the Men in Green, having contributed with the bat and ball. During the recent ODI series against Zimbabwe, Shadab scalped nine wickets in five games at an impressive average of 17.22, while Faheem also picked up 9 wickets, but at a better average of 7.44, which also included a maiden ODI five-wicket haul. The duo has also delivered with the bat in pressure situations to bail their team out of trouble.

They have a fearless attitude

Misbah reckoned that the fearless approach that both Faheem and Shadab stick to helps them tackle strong oppositions in a competitive manner. He stated that the energy which these two youngsters carry with them on the field is very important for the team. He feels that the idea of taking huge pressure before the game plays a huge role in the sensational performances recently by the young duo.

“In today’s cricket you need the sort of energy that youngsters like Shadab Khan and Faheem Ashraf bring to the table. They also have a fearless attitude about them and they take on the opposition as if there was no pressure on them, and they enjoy the game which is another crucial factor in their excellent performances at the international level,” Misbah was quoted as saying by PakPassion.

The former Pakistan skipper further stated that this type of attitude helps in lifting the morale of the team. He also feels that the presence of youngsters like Faheem and Shadab has brought a definite change in the body language of this Pakistan side and this would surely benefit them in the future.

“I strongly feel that the morale as well as the body language of the team has been lifted due to the presence of these young players and hopefully this will continue to be the case in the future,” added the former Pakistan skipper.
