We are benefitting from the coaching of Younis Khan and Mohammad Yousuf. It is a good opportunity to learn from their experience. Faheem Ashraf’s batting also improved after working with Mohammad Yousuf in the High-Performance Center.
Azhar said that he is working on the flaws he identified during the series between Pakistan and South Africa and both Younis and Yousuf have worked tirelessly with him to eradicate those flaws and make him an even better player. He added that this is the best opportunity for him as there is no domestic cricket being played currently, this gives him ample amount of time to work on his technique and practice as much as possible.
