In the quest for winning the International Cricket Council (ICC) Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023, the management of Pakistan Cricket Team has unveiled a playing style named “The Pakistan Way.”
According to a press release by the management, the team will adopt “positive and bold tactics and attacking strategies” in the tournament ahead and also in the One-Day Internationals (ODIs) leading to the mega-event, scheduled to be held in October and November.
The national team will be participating in a three-match ODI series with Afghanistan and the 50-over ACC Asia Cup. This will provide an opportunity to the team to test their potential, experiment with their bench strength, and fine-tune the team ahead of the World Cup.
Najam Sethi, the Chairman of the PCB Management Committee, while commenting on the new playing style said, “We achieve this by winning while having our own culture, our own brand of cricket, and our own style. We will not be satisfied with wins without that culture in the team. Pakistan as a nation is proud of its identity, culture, and style. I love Pakistan and Pakistan cricket; I want to leave behind a legacy as a director where the rest of the world says we want to play The Pakistan Way.”
The press release also highlighted that to achieve on-field success, the team management will give equal importance to building a culture of brotherhood and inclusivity among the team members.
“Our success will depend on how well we work together as a team on and off the field. It is important to make players take ownership of team goals and enjoy each other’s success. We want to create an environment that will enable our players to perform at their best. An environment where there is less fear of failure but more will to succeed,” said team manager Rehan ul Haq.
