Former cricketer Shoaib Akhtar has urged Pakistan to repair their middle-order issues rapidly after the sequence loss to England on Sunday.

England had been in a position to win the ultimate match and the sequence by a 67-run margin after the hosts’ batting order didn’t put up a struggle whereas chasing 210. The middle-order struggled after the wickets of Babar Azam and Mohammed Rizwan and Akhtar is worried in regards to the staff heading into the T20 World Cup.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, the previous pacer stated that the middle-order is not good they usually fail when the openers do not carry out effectively. He went on to say that he hopes the staff would not crash out within the group levels and went on to say that Pakistan is in a dire state of affairs in the meanwhile.

Akhtar did have some reward reserved for Haris Rauf and urged the opposite bowlers to step up as effectively.

Pakistan middle-order will not be good. If the openers do not carry out, the middle-order collapses. This will not be the best way you go into the World Cup and win the World Cup. It won’t work this manner.

Even by way of the World Cup, I hope Pakistan do not crash out within the first spherical. I’m scared with this staff. That is why I criticized Saqlain and others to get your middle-order, batting order so as. Somehow they don’t seem to be listening. But hopefully, Pakistan make a very good comeback within the World Cup and in New Zealand tri-series. I prefer to see Pakistan doing effectively and it’s disheartening to see them lose. But Pakistan is in a dire state of affairs and from right here issues aren’t going to be simple for them. Hopefully they’ll study a factor or two from my movies and enhance their center order. Babar can not carry out in each recreation.

But effectively finished Haris Rauf. You have finished wonders with the T20 cricket and I would like different bowlers to step up and ensuring they take some wickets.
