Inzamam’s presence inspiration for me : MalikPakistan Cricket Captain, Shoaib Malik said the presence of Inzamam ul Haq in the second test against South Africa is a big inspiration to handle the team in a more professional way.
“I have learnt a lot from Inzamam when he was the captain of the team and now when he will be playing in his last test of his career ,still I believe I can learn a lot from him and his presence will inspire me to handle the team in a more better way leading it to success “, he told APP here on Sunday.
Shoaib said Inzamam is a kind of player who is an exceptional cricket talent and his achievements and handling of the team are known to every one.
“I know leading a team is not an easy job and as a leader you face pressure situations and some time un-expected moments which put extra pressure and I have seen Inzamam handling all such moments very professionally and with a cool approach” ,he said.
“What I have seen him doing in the middle in the past, I will try to follow and implement it and I admire his leadership qualities “,he said.
