Faisal Iqbal talks about giving batting advice to Shahid Afridi

faisal

Karachi Kings’ batting coach Faisal Iqbal talked about giving batting advice to the veteran all-rounder Shahid Afridi and his overall experience working the biggest franchise of the league.

“We [me and Shahid] know each other for the past 25 years,” he told while speaking to ARY News when asked that Afridi is not a player who takes much advice from coaches. “We have played a lot of cricket together, including cricket at junior and club level,” he added.

“We have very good understanding, we have been together for long time and have discussed cricket throughout, so there is nothing new. I and Shahid are close friends,” Faisal Iqbal added.

When asked about advice given to foreign players such as Joe Denly, he said that players from Australia and South Africa face low-bounce pitches in the sub-continent. However, this is not worrisome as they need minor advice to tweak the pitches to their favour.

“My efforts are according to the situation. These are world-class players and can adjust themselves. They only requires some minor tweaking, and I am thankful for their response,” he said.

Karachi Kings are currently on the top of the league table after three consecutive wins. When asked if they had pulled off too early, Faisal Iqbal said that coach Mickey Arthur is highly experienced and they have a great environment backstage and gelled together.

“I hope how it feels to be in a league like that, when you have really good with the players, management and the owners,” he said adding that Karachi Kings players and management have bonded well together.

When asked how emotional will it be for Karachi Kings to reach the final and play in Karachi, Faisal Iqbal said that he had thinking about it since it was announced that the final will be held there.

He recalled playing several matches in Karachi including his first Test hundred, and his last match there in 2009. Ever since then he has desired for a match to be held there. He said that people of Karachi were excited and are looking forward to the highly anticipated event.

Further, there were also reports of fatal injuries to some people owing to electrocution.
