To help Australia’s Shaun Tait, the team’s head bowling coach, in the Asia Cup, which gets underway in the United Arab Emirates on Saturday, the Pakistan Cricket Board has dispatched a bowling coach from its national high-performance center in Lahore.
The Pakistan Cricket Board has dispatched a bowling coach from its national high-performance center in Lahore to support Australia’s Shaun Tait, the team’s lead bowling coach, at the Asia Cup, which gets underway in the United Arab Emirates on Saturday. In accordance with the advice of head coach Saqlain Mushtaq, Umar Rasheed departed on Wednesday to join the Pakistani side.
One is that now that Mohammad Hasnain is a member of the team, Umar will continue to watch over his bowling action and work to improve it, according to a PCB source. The fast bowler was first identified for having an illegal bowling motion at the beginning of this year.
Umar is supposed to serve as a conduit for effective communication between Shaun Tait and the players. Due to a persistent knee ligament injury sustained in July, Pakistan will be without its star bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi for the Asia Cup and the seven domestic T20 International matches against England.
Afridi has been told to take six to eight weeks off before having his injuries reevaluated.
According to the source, the fast bowler’s head coach, trainer, doctor, and physiotherapist all recommended that Afridi receive the greatest care and rehabilitation in Dubai, which is why the fast bowler is currently with the Pakistani team there.
Hasnain, a promising fast bowler, was selected by Pakistan’s selectors to replace Afridi.
Hasnain, Haris Rauf, Mohammad Wasim junior, and Shahnawaz Dahani have all played a combined total of 66 T20 international matches, while Naseem Shah has yet to make his T20 international debut. As a result, Pakistan’s pace attack at the Asia Cup is pretty lacking in the T20 international experience.
