NEWS Top teams 'one step ahead' of Pakistan in T20 batting approach, says chief selector Wasim

"It does look sometimes like the top order doesn't trust the middle order, but you can improve this"
Mohammad Wasim:

England and a few others are one step ahead of us in terms of their approach. 

The top T20I teams are "one step ahead" of Pakistan in terms of their approach, particularly with the bat, according to chief selector Mohammad Wasim. He also feels that the top order, Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam specifically, needs to "show more faith" in the middle order for the team to achieve the sort of big totals they need at the upcoming men's T20 World Cup.

"We often talk about the brand of cricket we play, and how we eventually have to play the modern form of T20 cricket," Wasim told Geo Super. "Obviously, the sort of cricket England and a few others are playing, they are one step ahead of us in terms of their approach. For us, it will take time to be fully converted into this brand of cricket, because for it you need certain players to be fully ready.
