Former cricketer Aamir Sohail has backed his Pakistan compatriot Fakhar Zaman to play a vital role in the upcoming Asia Cup because of his “positive approach” to batting.
“The reason behind Zaman’s success has to be his positive approach. No matter what the situation, he goes out and bats positively,” Sohail, an expert with official Cup broadcasters Star Sports, told.
Zaman had scored a blistering double hundred, smashing 210 off just 156 deliveries against Zimbabwe in the fourth ODI at Bulawayo in July.
“He (Zaman) doesn’t allow any bulls to fight in his head and knows that going out and playing positive cricket is what’s best for him. That has been the key to his success,” emphasised Sohail, a veteran of 156 ODIs and 47 Tests.
Pakistan would open their campaign against Hong Kong in Dubai on September 16 in the continental show-piece to be played in the 50-overs format.
