Peshawar Zalmi head coach, Mohammad Akram has shed light on the team’s preparations, player strategies, and hopes for the upcoming season of Pakistan Super League (PSL).<\/p>\n

Akram addressed the issue of batting order and revealed that while there are no objections to star player Babar Azam playing in any position, the captain prefers to open.<\/p>\n

“We have no objections to Babar Azam playing in any position, but he prefers to open. Babar Azam is the team’s captain and has performed well in the opening position,” Akram said.<\/p>\n

Akram expressed confidence in the squad composition, highlighting the young talent like Mohammad Haris, whose maturity promises to add depth to the team’s batting lineup.<\/p>\n

“We have a good pool of both international and local players, Mohammad Haris has matured and will play good cricket, we have tried to select the best squad,” he further added.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Akram also stated that Muhammad Yousuf’s inclusion in the coaching staff is expected to provide valuable mentorship.<\/p>\n

“Muhammad Yousuf has been included in the coaching staff, he will work with young cricketers and with us as a batting mentor. Umar Gul has also been invited to the camp,” Akram said.<\/p>\n

With regards to bowling, Akram stressed the importance of selecting top-quality bowlers, a tradition that Peshawar Zalmi has upheld.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“In Peshawar Zalmi’s squad, there are experienced and junior competent players, every year we try to pick good bowlers, and this year, too, we have picked good bowlers,” Akram further said.<\/p>\n

Lastly, amidst discussions about the tournament’s schedule, Akram expressed the team’s desire to play more matches in Peshawar, where their passionate fan base eagerly awaits the opportunity to support them on home turf.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We desired to have more matches in Peshawar where our fans are more, and it is also our right because our fans have been waiting for matches at the home ground for a long time, and if not in Peshawar, then there should have been more matches in Rawalpindi,” he concluded.<\/p>\n
