Pakistan in Zimbabwe

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s new-look team seems to have done quite well in Zimbabwe, notwithstanding the fact that it was playing a weak opposition. Clearly, it was again Pakistan’s bowling that helped gain it an advantage in the home side’s second innings. However, given that the opposition was very weak, the Pakistan Cricket Board should be on the look out to groom new talent, since with stronger teams (which is just about every other test-playing team), this kind of side will be severely tested.
