LAHORE:
Pakistan coach Waqar Younis is looking to use the West Indies tour to train more youngsters as the country gears up for the future. Six uncapped players feature in the squad for the Caribbean tour that will see Pakistan play five One-Day Internationals, two Tests and a Twenty20.
In the last eight months weve done pretty well by utilising the available players and training them for the future, said Younis after the conclusion of the two-day training camp in Lahore. The most important thing that people may have ignored is that its a very difficult task to reassemble the players and still manage to do well.
The former captain added that the rebuilding and fine-tuning process continues even after the World Cup.
Changes after a World Cup are a conventional practice and should be made. After all, our foremost target actually is the World Cup. We arent taking the West Indies tour lightly by any means as they have always proved to be tough competitors when they play at home.
The former fast-bowler added that the tour will also help Pakistan focus on the mistakes made during the World Cup.
Weve selected some new players with the hope that they are groomed and serve the country in the future. Whatever inadequacies we had during the World Cup, we want to overcome them.
Irked by the batting coach debate
Meanwhile, Younis was also irked by the debate surrounding the recruitment of former captain Javed Miandad as the teams batting coach. Miandad, on Tuesday, turned down the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) offer and said that past incidents made his decision easy.
However, Younis stressed that the PCB should look at other options. I dont know why we go round and round and come back to Miandad. If he doesnt want to do the job then we must ask someone else for help, said Younis.
