RAUF CALLS FOR PATIENCE TO YOUNGSTERS AFTER PAKISTAN’S CT2025, NZ T20I TEST LOSSES
Rauf calls for patience to the youngsters after Paklistan lost on its own backyard at Champions Trophy 2025 and early in its T20I series against New Zealand.
Furthermore, the 31-year-old bowler urged the need to “give the youngsters full freedom” to integrate them into the Pakistan national team.
Moreover, he understands the frustrations of fans and critics regarding the team’s performance the past few weeks.
“These are young players. You go to any place, any team in the world, they give the youngsters full freedom,” Rauf said.
“If they give the youngsters a chance, they make sure to give them 10 to 15 matches at a stretch. That is how they become players,” he added.
SENIORS TO WORK HARD TO ADVISE JUNIORS, HELP THEM SUCCEED IN INTL LEVEL: RAUF
Rauf assured that their role as senior players is to give sound advise to the youngsters and help them succeed as soon as possible in the international level.
Moreover, the bowler acknowledges that a team mixing up seniors and juniors comes with a risk.
Furthermore, players are expected to take criticism, he explained, and stressed that building the team and helping it succeed eventually remains the goal.
“Everyone who comes into international cricket struggles initially. You talk about criticism, it’s become a norm,” Rauf said.
“As seniors, we motivate our juniors, and advise them about what’s required to succeed in international cricket. The quicker they learn, the better it will be for them,” he added.
NEW-LOOK TEAM TO LEARN IN NEW ZEALAND TEST SERIES, SAYS HARIS
Pakistan’s new look team of seniors and juniors, Rauf observed, is using its current Test series agaimnst New Zealand as a learning experience.
Furthermore, new captain Salman Agha is seeing the work done the past two matches of the New Zealand Tests.
Moreover, Rsauf believes the team will just grow and get better with more matches under their belts moving forward.
“It’s not like we didn’t bowl well, we were unlucky as well. There were a few top edges that went for six, some went over the ropes due to the wind and small ground,” Rauf said.
“We were putting in the effort as a bowling unit, but we didn’t get the desired result. We were a bit unlucky in the beginning,” he added.
