The latest news in the Peshawar Zalmi coach has taken over the limelight with the team franchise declaring the selection of the previous Pakistan captain Azhar Ali as their fresh fielding coach. This is a strategic move, that preceded their PSL 11 campaign opener against RawalPindiz debutants, in Lahore at the Gaddafi Stadium this Saturday.
It was officially announced on the social media of Peshawar Zalmi, a few minutes after the first match of the tournament between Lahore Qalandars and Hyderabad Kingsmen. Thus, fans and analysts are more than willing to determine how the inclusion of Azhar Ali will affect the fielding performance of the team, which has played out to be both positive and negative over the last couple of seasons.
Not only does Azhar Ali have experience in the position, but also a certain level of patience and compactness of batting as seen in the international scenario. His tough attitude and relaxed personality are likely to increase the intensity and unity of the team on the field. The franchise pointed out that his presence will enable the players to have a sharper and more organized fielding unit.
Speaking about the appointment, Zalmi said that he is very excited that Ali has joined them and they would keep on taking the game to the next level in every aspect of the game. This is perceived as one of the larger plans of the franchise to bolster its support staff over a competitive season.
