Shadab sees England series as preparation for T20 WC

KARACHI: Vice-captain of Pakistan's white-ball cricket team Shadab Khan believes that the England series would provide Pakistan with a valuable opportunity for making preparations to head to the ICC T20 World Cup.

The ICC's Men Twenty20 World Cup will take place in Australia next month.

In an exclusive interview with Geo News ahead of the first T20I against England, Shadab said that he is practising to prepare himself for bowling in powerplay and death overs so that he can be used as a bowling option by the team at any stage of the game.

Shadab also said that he is willing to bat further up in the order if required by the team.

“It is, of course, a very historic series and also a worthwhile opportunity for us to prepare for the world cup. England is one of the most successful teams in limited over cricket that plays modern day cricket. So, it will help us to prepare for the world cup and will allow us to form a proper combination ahead of the mega-event," he said.

When asked what areas the team needs to improve, Shadab said that there’s always room for improvement in all areas. However, he highlighted that the team needs to work hard on batting as he anticipates high-scoring matches in Australia during the World T20 tournament.

Speaking about his own cricket, Shadab said that being an all-rounder, he is prepared to step in for the team whenever and wherever required.
