New restrictions on Pakistan team

BRISBANE: As Pakistan suffered two horrible defeats in the  World Cup the team management have put some new restrictions on the Green-Shirts including a gap from media.

Pakistan team had cancelled its training session on Monday which was replace by an individual meeting of the player with team management.

Pakistan suffered a 76-run loss to India in their World Cup opener before being humbled by the West Indies on Saturday in what was a day to forget for Misbah-ul-Haq’s side.

The team management, headed by coach Waqar Younis, has decided to take drastic steps in order to regain focus and get Pakistan’s World Cup campaign back on track.

To avoid further controversy, Pakistan will now be steering clear of the media and hold their training session away from the glare of the media, the source said.

“At the moment, all outings and media interactions have been put on hold for the next week, to get the players’ focus back on cricket.” Pakistan take on Zimbabwe, coached by Dav Whatmore, on March 1, in Brisbane. The encounter will be a must-win game for the Green-shirts and team manager Naveed Akram Cheema said the players were desperate to perform.

“It’s not true that the squad is divided into groups but the fact is that our execution hasn’t been up to the mark,” Cheema said.

Meanwhile, Pakistan’s 1992 World Cup-winning captain Imran Khan advised the team to regroup and play attacking cricket if they were to have any hopes in the tournament.

“The first and foremost thing is that if we are to win our remaining matches and beat South Africa, the top order has to get runs. We need to play attacking cricket by strengthening the bowling and trying to take wickets. Containment will not work in this World Cup,” Khan said.
