Legendary Waqar Younis feels that under the leadership of Sarfraz Ahmed Pakistan has a good chance of coming back to the country in 2019 and win the World Cup.
“Looking back at the Champions Trophy, the team is building the confidence, the faith is coming,” Waqar told the ICC in England.
“I’ll give a fair chance to Pakistan winning this World Cup. Pressure is going to be there. Expectation from the entire country. There’s so many Pakistanis living in this county so they’re going to travel around, there’s going to be a lot of support for Pakistan. There will be pressure because supporters bring it but they will enjoy it hopefully and do well.”
However, he feels that it will be a tough task for current World No.1 England to lift the trophy.
“There’s always pressure for the hosting side,” Waqar said. “Last couple of World Cups, the host team has won it, so that creates even more pressure. England know their game very well when they’re playing on their home ground. But the other teams are going to come very prepared.”
