Shahid Afridi
has rated Pakistan as the best limited-overs outfit in the world, but
wanted his side to improve their fielding. Afridi is currently
undergoing a week-long rehabilitation after suffering a strain during
the Asia Cup, but was confident of recovering in time for the World T20 starting next week.
"I can't see a better [limited-overs] combination in the world than
Pakistan because our bowling is good, batting is good but the only
mistake we are doing that's in fielding and fielding is the most
essential thing in limited-overs cricket," Afridi said at the National
Cricket Academy in Lahore.
Pakistan's team is set to leave for the World T20 in Bangladesh on
Thursday, but Afridi is expected to join them early next week. "I am
recovering well. I am sure I will play at least one warm-up match."
Pakistan's warm-up matches are on next Monday and Wednesday, after which they open their campaign in a high-profile match against India. "We will do our best, all will join in that effort in the India match. We won the last match against India and I think that will give us benefit."
Afridi was at his explosive best in the Asia Cup, starring in victories
over India and Bangladesh, and was looking at a floating position in the
batting order at the World T20. "I think one should be flexible, if
there are five-six overs left then I can go up the order but it will
depend on situation and overs."
