T20 World Cup Excitement and Confidence

He believes that the team’s body language, communication, and positive attitude will play a crucial role in determining their success.
Challenges and Preparations
The team is aware that the conditions in the USA may pose challenges, as they are playing there for the first time. To overcome these challenges, the team is gathering information from players who have played in the USA before. Azam believes that this information will help the team in their preparations and assist them in adapting to the new conditions
Pak Vs Ind Pivotal Match
The highly anticipated match between Pakistan and India is always a significant event. Azam believes that the team needs to keep their focus and stick to the basics to overcome the pressure of playing against their arch-rivals. He emphasized the importance of maintaining a positive attitude and believing in their skills and hard work to achieve success
Responsibilities and Motivation
As a captain, Azam understands the additional responsibilities that come with the role. He believes that he needs to maintain communication with the players and the management, control his emotions, and back his players to get the best performance out of them. He also believes that lifting the ICC trophy is a different motivation, as it brings a lot of praise and recognition. This motivation drives him to work harder and achieve his dream of lifting the trophy for Pakistan.
Past Performances and Lessons Learned
Azam believes that the team’s past performances in mega events have been good, but they have not been able to finish on a high. He believes that they need to overcome the mistakes that derailed their campaigns in the past. He mentioned that the semi-final loss against Australia in 2021 and the final loss against England in 2022 were particularly hurtful, as they could have won those matches.
