According to private a TV channel, speaking at a post-match press conference, Salman Ali Agha said consistency is essential to winning in England. He said any team can make a comeback on any given day in cricket, adding that Pakistan has the ability but failed to execute its plans.
Salman Ali Agha said the Pakistani team always faces a challenge in England and that things are difficult for them whenever they come here. He said they arrived only a week earlier rather than a month in advance, which was not enough time to adjust to the conditions.
He said the Pakistan team is currently going through a rebuilding phase and that their bowling attack is relatively inexperienced. He added that they are not worried about the future because they are preparing the team for the future.
