&ldquo;Our players listen to each other, and we listen to them too. Our job is to play cricket and bring joy to our nation,&rdquo; he added.
He insisted that every player knew it was his duty to play with intent, focus and unity, besides avoiding any internal conflicts that could disrupt their performance. &ldquo;We aim to play with unity, and this is not the time for arguments or disputes. It&rsquo;s the time for everyone to be on the same page,&rdquo; he further added.
Pakistan will start their T20 World Cup journey against the USA on June 6.
The left-arm speedster also dismissed concerns about his workload, form and fitness, admitting that he was happy at the way he had bowled in Ireland and also how the team had rallied to win the series after losing the opener. &ldquo;I am bowling with rhythm and pace, and I am enjoying my spells. Unfortunately, nowadays in T20 cricket, every bowler ends up having a bad day in one match or another. That is the nature of the challenges bowlers face now,&rdquo; he stated.
