Containment force

Containment force

According to some reports, the PCB has decided to train a ‘strike force’ of 50 hard hitting, young batters from across the country to revolutionise the T20 team. The programme aims to train the selected batters to hit long sixes and boundaries to meet the demands of modern T20 cricket. In my opinion, this is a solid initiative. Another area that needs the Board's attention is how to contain the number of runs scored by opposing teams. Some of our bowlers give away too many runs despite claiming several wickets. The bowling coaches of Pakistan can play a significant role in this regard.
