The 2022-runners-up will be coming to this clash after facing 2-0 defeat against England in a recently-concluded T20I series. Despite having a horrible outing against England, <a href=\"https:\/\/sports.ndtv.com\/cricket\/players\/59905-mohammad-babar-azam-playerprofile\" title=\"Babar Azam\">Babar Azam<\/a> and co are strong contenders for the T20 World Cup title. However, West Indies great Ian Bishop has issued an advice for the 2009 champions that they should &#8220;change template&#8221;, in order to redeem their performance.<\/p>\n<p>During the series against England, Pakistan promoted young batter <a href=\"https:\/\/sports.ndtv.com\/cricket\/players\/118278-saim-ayub-playerprofile\" title=\"Saim Ayub\">Saim Ayub<\/a> as an opener, alongside Mohammad Rizwan. Bishop stated that instead of going with the regular pair of Babar and Rizwan, Pakistan should back youngsters as their openers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you&#8217;re asking me what I want versus what will happen to Pakistan, I will tell you that I need and hope that down the road, I don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;s immediate but down the road guys like Saim Ayub, I know Mohammad Harris is not in the reckoning right now, but he&#8217;s another young man. They&#8217;ve left back at home that I think until for T-20 cricket. But these guys are still very young and living the way,&#8221; Bishop said on Star Sports.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So, the experience of Babar and Rizwan, they probably will go back there. But again, that&#8217;s a template that needs to change with those two players who I think from what we&#8217;ve seen T20 cricket going to even in a World Cup of challenging pitches, they need to shift another gear up in the way they approach their batting,&#8221; he further added.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from this,Pakistan wicketkeeper-batter <a href=\"https:\/\/sports.ndtv.com\/cricket\/players\/112971-azam-khan-playerprofile\" title=\"Azam Khan\">Azam Khan<\/a> has been on the receiving end of some criticism from fans and former players amid his poor show in the recently-concluded T20I series against England.<\/p>\n<p>Azam scored just 11 runs in the two matches that he played, while his glove-work was also questionable as he dropped a few easy catches.<\/p>\n<p>After USA, Pakistan will be going up against their arch-rivals India for their next Group A match on Sunday in New York.<\/p>\n<p>                                            <!-- Comments button ( after story ) --><\/p>\n<p>                                        <!-- Tags ( after story ) --><\/p>\n<div class=\"tgs\">\n<p>Topics mentioned in this article <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>                                        <!-- Topic soical links --><\/p><\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/sports.ndtv.com\/t20-world-cup-2024\/need-to-shift-another-gear-up-west-indies-greats-advice-for-pakistan-ahead-of-their-t20-world-cup-opener-5812582\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] &#13; &#13; Pakistan will be opening their T20 World Cup 2024 campaign against co-hosts USA on Thursday in Texas.
