Imran’s mission
Sarfaraz and his team were knocked out in the group stage match as they finished fifth in the points table. The men in green were equal with New Zealand’s points who stood at number 4, but the net run rate was a matter that ruined the team’s qualification. However, the team was then criticized for its fitness goals which never really existed. Pakistan fans all over the world questioned its team’s seriousness in the game.
Looking at the team’s current situation Khan has decided to do something about it. However, he has not given any details about his plan for his team but he looks confident in his statement.
