Normal service for Team Pakistan has resumed after a healthy and enthralling Pakistan Super League season 2. Come to think of it, it was for better because we saw some of the rising prospects that we could make better use of in our national team.
So, the Pakistani cricket team is en route to the Carribean where it will play West Indies. A series was teased prior to the commence of PSL-2 and now days are only numbered for it.
Pakistan played against Australia a few months ago. Their performance on a couple of times was questionable. It raised major concerns and opened the capacities that needed a large amount of emphasis on the board’s end. As usual, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) joined hands with the team lads and coach Mickey Arthur to oversee a better prospect of the team’s performance than what was seen against Australia.
Now, Pakistan is up for another challenge. This time, it is not an easy one. A storm from the Carribean awaits our team and we shall see what is made of it.
