Waqar Younus hopeful for Playing champions trophy

LAHORE – Pakistan cricket team coach, Waqar Younus, has said that despite his side being ranked No. 9 in ODIs and facing a challenge to qualify for the 2017 Champions Trophy, which will be contested by only the top eight sides, he will continue to try new players for the development of the team.

Waqar also said Pakistan will have to “live without Saeed Ajmal” and make up for the offspinner’s absence through teamwork.

Pakistan need to beat Sri Lanka in the five-ODI series to get to eighth and remain in contention for the Champions Trophy. It is their only opportunity ahead of the September 30 cut-off date.

 

Waqar said, “I am confident that we will qualify for the Champions Trophy. We obviously have to win the series and it’s important for us to win at least 3-2, but we will push to win more than three matches.”
