Replying to a question, the Pakistan cricket team head coach questioned who could be satisfied after a defeat. We cannot change the whole team and start playing U-19 players in the national team, he added.
He stressed that excuses have no place in life, nor should they. He also highlighted the importance of players like Saim Ayub and Fakhar Zaman in the team for tournaments like Champions Trophy 2025.
Certain players have the ability to change the course of a game, and their presence is crucial for the team’s success, he added referring to injured Saim Ayub and Fakhar Zaman.
Responding to question regarding exclusion of young cricketers Irfan Khan and Sufiyan Muqeem from the Champions Trophy 2025 squad Javed emphasized the importance of differentiating between performances in different formats, while highlighting the lack of ODI experience of both players.
