Afridi laments lack of power-hitters in Pakistan cricket team
Afridi said Pakistan missed the element of power-hitting in the series against Sri Lanka.
KARACHI (Dunya News) – Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi on Tuesday lamented the lack of power-hitters in the current set-up.
“Pakistan missed the element of power-hitting in the series against Sri Lanka,” Afridi was quoted as saying in a video.
“We managed to hit only two sixes and we are not seeing the expected talent when it comes to hitting.”

“Power hitters have always played a very important role in Pakistan cricket, for example Abdul Razzaq was a fine hitter.”
He said: “Players such as Gayle, Pollard, Dhoni are renowned power hitters. Why we are not getting such players is a concern and it should be addressed.”

Pakistan were beaten 0-3 by Sri Lanka in the recently-concluded T20I series at home. The team could manage to hit just couple of sixes in the series and Afridi has pointed fingers towards lack of explosive players in the side.
