Cuttack tracks would suit Pakistan girls, says Basit

MURIDKE: With just 10 days left before the ICC Women's World Cup starts in India, he may have joined the Pakistan women cricket team as batting coach slightly late but former Test batsman Basit Ali is hoping to be able to contribute a lot to the side during this time.

“As coach, my job is to tell them what to do and it is up to them to implement the advice in the best way that they can,” he told Dawn here on the first day of his training session with the girls on Sunday. “I came here after doing my research on the pitches in Cuttack. They have slow tracks where the ball spins and our bowlers will be more effective there, so the change in venue just might turn out to be a blessing in disguise for us,”Basit, who is also the coach of the Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) which won the inaugural President’s Trophy title in Karachi last Friday, said. “I am also glad to see that the girls have been well prepared by head coach MohtashimRasheed and deputy coach Tahir Mahmood. We go a long way back. I have known them since we were all under-19 players. It will be a pleasure joining forces with them for the betterment of the Pakistan women team,” he added. “I know the playing styles of the senior girls like captain Sana Mir, vice-captain BismahMaroof, Nain Abidi but there is so much more fresh talent in the side that I will be helping in the coming few days. “I also take this opportunity to mention how much we appreciate Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Zaka Ashraf’s initiative in unearthing new talent, especially in women’s cricket. “He has sent out letters to all departments to set up their own women wings, which should also include women’s U-19 teams. This will in turn serve as nurseries for upcoming talent from all regions. When the girls get incentives, they would obviously want to try for the teams and thus your talent pool will never dry out,” he pointed out. Basit, for now, has been brought into the squad as batting coach for the duration of the Women’s World Cup. http://www.rtilive.pk/detail/9802 Cuttack tracks,ICC Women's World Cup starts in India,Pakistan women cricket team,Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL), Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Zaka Ashraf,rti live news pakistan,rti live current news about pakistan rtilive,current news from pakistan rti live,current news of pakistan,rtilive current news on pakistan,current news pakistan rti live,rtilive google news pakistan,rti live hot news of pakistan,rtilive karachi pakistan news,rti live latest news about pakistan,rtilive latest news from pakistan,rti live latest news in pakistan,rtilive latest news of pakistan,rtilive latest news on pakistan,rti live latest news pakistan,rtilive latest news pakistan urdu,rtilive latest pakistan news,rti live news pakistan,rtilive news about pakistan,rti live news from pakistan,rti live news in pakistan,rtilive news of pakistan,rtilive news on pakistan,rti live news pakistan,rtilive news pakistan latest,rti live pakistan current news,rti live pakistan flood news,rtilive pakistan floods news,rti live pakistan karachi news,rti live pakistan latest news,rti live pakistan latest news online,rtilive pakistan live news,pakistan new news,pakistan news,pakistan news channel,pakistan news lahore,pakistan news latest,pakistan news live,pakistan news online,pakistan news paper,pakistan news papers,pakistan news service,pakistan news today,pakistan news tv,pakistan news urdu,pakistan news english,pakistan news video,pakistan political news,pakistan top news,pakistan urdu news,pakistan english news,pakistan world news,todaynews of pakistan,rti news of pakistan,rtilive news of pakistan,top news of pakistan,urdu news pakistan,english news pakistan,urdu pakistan news,english pakistan news,world news pakistan,www pakistan urdu news,www pakistan english news,www rtilive pk news,yahoo pakistan news,action news,breaking news,business news, current news,daily news,e news,entertainment news,google news,headline news,india news,pakistan news,international news,it news,latest news,live news,lacal news,national news,new news,news,news channel,news channels,news entertainment,news for kids,news for today,news live,news of the day,news of the world,news of today,news of world,news paper,news papers,rtilive news rti live,today,news video,news weather,online news,recent news,science news,news the,today news,top news,weather news,world news,news yahoo,yahoo news,Law & justice in Pakistan, Court cases, constitutional cases, chief justice of Pakistan, Justice and court news, criminal cases, Supreme court cases in Pakistan, Judgments of Supreme Court,Information Pakistan, information about Pakistan, Research about Pakistan, Online Research Center, Research organization Pakistan, Polls and Surveys, Polls and surveys about Pakistan, Right to Information Pakistan, RTI Pakistan, Research findings, findings, Entertainment, Reward Program, Customized productions, Top Story Pakistan, Politics Pakistan, Economy Pakistan, Society Pakisatn, Lifestyle Pakisatn, News Pakisatn, City News Pakisatn, Video Pakisatn, RTI Video, Global Fascilities,
