The method was reduced by Kirsten to teamwork and total mental toughness.
There is a difficult period in Pakistani cricket. The fact that the team was eliminated from the group rounds of the ICC competitions after they advanced to the T20 World Cup 2022 finals is indicative of the same. The squad’s white-ball coach, Gary Kirsten, has made some tough decisions for the benefit of the national team after they were recently humiliated by Bangladesh in the Test series.
The domestic 50-over Champions Cup competition is now being played by the players. To keep an eye on the players’ performance, Kirsten set up camp in Faisalabad. The approach was reduced to pure mental toughness and teamwork by the former South African cricket player. Pakistan, which is slated to host the Champions Trophy in 2025, would under tremendous pressure to do well.
“While individuals can win matches, teams win series and titles,” Kirsten stated, as reported by The Express Tribune.
Pakistan will host an ICC event after a 27-year break
Up till April 2025, Pakistan will play T20Is and ODIs against Australia, Zimbabwe, South Africa, and New Zealand. The white-ball matches will serve as nothing less than excellent practice for the next Champions Trophy in 2025. If the team wants to win the trophy, the next ODI tri-series against South Africa and New Zealand is a suitable warm-up. They also have slim chances of making it to the World Test Championship final.
For the first time since 1996, Pakistan will host an ICC event in 2025, which is related to Champions Trophy. Extremist activity plagued the nation, and security concerns overshadowed all other considerations while hosting a large international event. Most recently, the ICC dispatched a mission to inspect security and preparations ahead of the global convergence in February 2025, seizing the chance.
