The same players who made Pakistani No.1 [in T20 Internationals] We are playing, but we have no idea what went wrong, &quot;Misbah said in the post-game press conference with Sarfraz after the shameful 13-run defeat of Pakistan in the third T20 International here at Gaddafi Stadium on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMaybe I did something? Did I probably have our right-hand hitters switch to left-handed batting or maybe I made our right-handed point guard fight with the left arm? \u201dHe said sarcastically. <\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Sarfraz insists that players must take responsibility<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Although he clearly admitted that the islanders had surpassed the hosts in the series, Misbah said that Pakistan&#39;s camp had much to do to improve in all departments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSimply put, Sri Lanka surpassed us in all departments. They gave us an example to all. We have been eliminated in all departments, it was a unilateral T20 series. We have to work on many things and many questions remain to be answered, \u201dMisbah said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDisappointing, everything is disappointing. For the past few years, the same players have been playing, but now those problems are nothing but pathetic. We are as worried as you [media] They are. We allow a debutante [Oshada Fernando] play a big hit, and we allow them to reach 147 in the third T20 after reducing them to 58-4. We play very bad cricket, \u201dhe said.<\/p>\n<p>Responding to a question about Sarfraz&#39;s poor condition with the bat, Misbah said it is necessary to analyze the performance of the entire team of 11 players.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow can you point out that the wicket carrier was not good? Were the [remaining] Ten players good enough? \u201d, Misbah questioned.<\/p>\n<p>Misbah, who recently started operating as head coach of coaches and national team leaders recently, added: \u201cOnly 10 days ago I took over, what kind of player training could I do [in these days] that brought this result. &quot;<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, Misbah mentioned Shoaib Malik and Hafeez as better spinning players than some of the current team&#39;s hitters, insinuating that the experienced duo may return for the T20 World Cup next year in Australia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe media should also analyze that, in a single blow, we reject a certain player. Our players lack spinner handling, while Malik and Hafeez are much better spinning players, \u201dhe said.<\/p>\n<p>While defending Shadab Khan&#39;s below average performance against Sri Lanka, the head coach said the country did not have a rotating wrist in the backup.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;In fact, there is no support from Yasir Shah,&quot; Misbah lamented. &quot;[Therefore], I will focus more on the next T20 National Cup tournament to find out their support. &quot;<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Sarfraz, speaking at the presser, said that the T20 series lime is a wake-up call for Pakistan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you see throughout the series, we don&#39;t play cricket well. Many weaknesses have been noted and it is necessary to work on them. That [the  series loss] It is a revelation for us. They [Sri Lanka] He played a good cricket and deserved to win, &quot;Sarfraz said.<\/p>\n<p>The players, emphasized the pattern, must show responsibility in the field. <\/p>\n<p>He went on to say: \u201cThis side of Sri Lanka is a young team that taught us how to play cricket. We have played that type of cricket in the past. &quot; <\/p>\n<p>&quot;People blame the team management [for the defeats], that&#39;s true [to some extent]. However, players also have to show responsibility. Management did their hard work to prepare the players, but on the ground if they don&#39;t click [on the match day] What can team management do? \u201dSarfraz wondered.<\/p>\n<p>At a question, Sarfraz rejected the impression that he was under some kind of pressure.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;When your team is not working well, it can disturb your mind, but I am not under any pressure,&quot; the captain insisted. &quot;I came to bat [in the third T20] in the N. 4 when a well established Haris Sohail was in the fold. Unfortunately, Haris lost his wicket after two overs and the wicket was not conducive to start hitting without being solved, since the required execution speed accelerated, \u201dhe explained.<\/p>\n<p>Misbah denied that the second wicket (76-race) association between Haris and Babar in the third T20 did not favor Pakistan.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;It&#39;s bad that Haris and Babar were batting to protect their places on the team,&quot; said the head coach. \u201cBoth are high profile players who have confirmed places. In fact, they could not adapt to the field; they tried to increase the score index but failed. &quot;<\/p>\n<p>On excluding starter Abid Ali from T20 playing XI, Misbah said the law had to prove his credentials as a useful player of the shortest format in the next T20 National Cup that will begin in Faisalabad on October 13.<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on the T20 series, Sri Lanka coach Rumesh Ratnayake said the memorable victory would significantly inspire young people and other cricketers at home.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe triumph is the result of the hard work done by our bowlers and batters. Otherwise, Pakistan has a lot of cricket talent, &quot;Ratnayake said.&quot; In the past we played in Pakistan against some great bowlers and batters. The country can surely produce more cricketers like them. &quot;<\/p>\n<p>To a question, Ratnayake hoped that after this victory against Pakistan, Sri Lankan players would maintain consistency in their performance to win against England, South Africa and other strong teams.<\/p>\n<p><em>Posted on Dawn, October 11, 2019<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/pre>\n<\/pre>\n<p>Source: https:\/\/www.dawn.com\/news\/1510118\/shocking-t20-series-whitewash-perturbs-misbah<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pakistan&#39;s main coach and coach Misbah-ul-Haq (second L) waits to shake hands with President Arif Alvi at Gaddafi&#39;s stadium on Wednesday.
