Pakistan’s opening game in the T20 World Cup is against the USA at the Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas, Texas, on June 6. And for that game, the Pakistan team has asked for a change in the openers.

Bishop speaking to Star Sports network, said that,

“If you’re asking me what I want versus what will happen to Pakistan, I will tell you that I need and hope that down the road, I don’t know if it’s immediate but down the road guys like Saim Ayub, I know Mohammad Harris is not in the reckoning right now, but he’s another young man.

They’ve left back at home I think until for T-20 cricket. But these guys are still very young and living the way.”

“So, the experience of Babar and Riwan, they probably will go back there. But again, that’s a template that needs to change with those two players who I think from what we’ve seen T20 cricket going to even in a World Cup of challenging pitches, need to shift another gear up in the way they approach their batting,” he added.
