When Travis Head came, my aim was to either beat him or hit his pads or stumps. So, for him my plan was to swing the ball in, beat him, and get him bowled,\u201d Mir Hamza said.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bolnews.com\/sports\/2023\/07\/mir-hamzas-exciting-stint-with-warwickshire-cricket-club\/\">Hamza<\/a> also mentioned receiving invaluable guidance from cricket icon Wasim Akram, who encouraged him to adhere to the basics and refrain from overstraining on the demanding Australian pitches.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWasim Akram advised me to stick to my basics and not try too hard on bouncy Australian pitches. After bowling well, he praised my precision and experience from playing 100 first-class matches, wishing me the best for the future,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>While reflecting on his performance and addressing worries about a possible reduction in speed, the left-arm speedster stressed the significance of depending on his existing abilities and avoiding unnecessary efforts on other aspects.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve realized that if my skill is seam swing, then I should rely on it. You need pace for both red and white balls, but it should be effective enough to disturb the batsman. To some extent, you need pace on which I\u2019m working,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bolnews.com\/sports\/2023\/02\/karachi-kings-picked-up-akif-javed-to-replace-mir-hamza\/\">Hamza<\/a> said.<\/p>\n<p>The 31-year-old also recounted his experience of bowling with Shaheen Afridi for the first time in his career. Praising Shaheen\u2019s rapid comprehension of the match situation, Hamza underscored Afridi\u2019s focus on fostering partnerships.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s the first time in my career that I\u2019ve bowled with Shaheen. Shaheen\u2019s quality is that he reads the match situation very quickly. He believes more in partnerships. He doesn\u2019t think about what the rest of the team is doing if he is taking wickets himself. Shaheen thinks more about his other bowlers,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<div class=\"alsoread\">\n<h4 class=\"text-uppercase mb-10 mt-20 fs-18\">Also Read<\/h4>\n<div class=\"post-box sty22\">\n<div class=\"post-frame js-ratioHtP\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<h5 class=\"title\">Mir Hamza takes incredible catch during Pakistan vs PM XI match<\/h5>\n<p>Mir Hamza made an incredible catch on Day 3 of Pakistan-PM&#8217;s XI&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bolnews.com\/sports\/2023\/12\/mir-hamza-takes-incredible-catch-during-pakistan-vs-pm-xi-match\/\" class=\"post-link\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mir Hamza dismissed Travis Head in the AUS vs PAK Test match.
