Former captain Sohail says Pak cannot rely entirely on spinners at T20 WC



Islamabad, Sep 13: Former Pakistan captain Aamir Sohail has said the national team’s bowling attack should not wholly rely on the shoulders of their quality spinners at the Twenty20 World Cup in Sri Lanka, and added that the team with a balanced bowling attack would have the best chance to win the tournament.

“You simply cannot keep on relying on the spinners all of the time. The teams that will do well in Sri Lanka are the ones with a balanced bowling attack,” Sohail said in an interview with Pakpassion.net.

“I’ve read with interest Kumar Sangakkara’s recent interview where he said that the nature of the Sri Lankan wickets that will be used for the world T20 have changed,” he added.

“The wickets in Sri Lanka are now more responsive to the fast bowlers and medium pacers and Pakistan needs to find a better balance to their bowling attack if they are to be effective in Sri Lanka,” he said.
