Pakistan cricket team coach Waqar Younis is pleased with the non-inclusion of Pakistani cricketers in the profitable IPL this year.Waqar believed that while on the one end it is a huge financial loss for the players but on the other it is in the best interest of the country that players are not playing in IPL which would keep them fresh and help them to maintain their focus on national duties. Pakistani players were restricted to take part in the last three season of IPL due to tension between the governments of both countries after Mumbai attacks and Waqar took it as blessing in disguise for Pakistan cricket.
Waqar admitted that the last six to eight months were very tough for Pakistan cricket but his boys have worked hard to earn the recent victories. “Our team has new set up and the boys are eager to win matches. We have tried different combinations and now developing into a good unit. We are hoping for more victories in international cricket this year and I am proud of my boys,” said Younis.
