Pakistan skipper Salman Ali Agha expressed strong confidence as his side gears up for the T20I series against South Africa, starting tomorrow at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.
Speaking on Pakistan Cricket’s digital platform, Salman said the squad’s blend of new and returning players makes it one of the most exciting lineups in recent times. “We have a great mix this time — a few comebacks, a few fresh faces. I’m really excited to lead this team, and we’re hoping for a great series,” he shared.
Reflecting on Pakistan’s 3-0 home triumph against Bangladesh, Salman said he’s optimistic about maintaining that winning momentum. “We just want to execute our plans longer and play with consistency. This team can beat any side when it plays to its strengths,” he added.
While praising the South African team, he acknowledged the challenge despite the visitors missing key players. “It’s unfortunate that Miller and Coetzee are injured, but their replacements are quality players. South Africa is a strong side, and we’ll give our best to outplay them,” he concluded.
