The captain of Peshawar Zalmi, Babar Azam, expressed his delight in playing cricket when his team performs well, as he stated during a press conference after their victory against Multan Sultans. “When your team performs well, the thrill is immense,” he said, “and you have to adapt to different positions and play in different ways.” The speed of the game has increased, he added, and even in red-ball cricket, players are now playing faster.
“We will try to maintain the momentum that Zalmi has built,” he said, “and we will adapt to the conditions as required.” He praised Sufiyan Muqeem’s bowling, saying that his future looks bright. “If I, as captain, had the chance to win a trophy, I would definitely be able to do so,” he said with a smile.
However, his aspirations are big, but he believes that whatever is destined to happen, will happen.
