Pakistan opener Imam-ul-Haq has said that he wants to improve his power-hitting skills to make a place in Pakistan’s T20 team and franchise cricket. Imam recently returned to the Test squad against Australia and scored back-to-back centuries in the first Test in Rawalpindi. He also had a great ODI series where he scored two centuries and 89 runs.
Pakistan opener Imam-ul-Haq wants to improve his power-hitting skills
The left-handed player said that most of the cricketers in Pakistan are labeled as players of a certain format, but I want to end this impression on me.
Referring to Cricket Pakistan, Imam-ul-Haq said:
“In Pakistan, cricketers are usually labeled as players of a specific red ball or white-ball format.
According to Imam-ul-Haq, this should end because most players get frustrated when they are labeled as a player of a certain format:
“I am working hard on my power-hitting skills to make a place in the T20 squad and in franchise cricket as well,” he added.
Talking about the criticism leveled at him, Imam said that his uncle Inzamam-ul-Haq had suggested him to focus on sports. Imam-ul-Haq said that there was no doubt that as a cricketer I was faced with difficulties because I was born into a family of legends. But Inzamam-ul-Haq always advised me that a cricketer knows his own talents and abilities the most, so I always focused on hard work.
