In 2009, Pakistan, who were finalists two years ago, lost to the USA and India in the current tournament, only managing to beat Canada.
Their last match against Ireland on Sunday doesn’t matter much since both teams are already out of the tournament.
Wasim, expressing disappointment, said it’s the lowest point for them and major changes are needed for improvement.
He underlined that in order to advance, a significant reworking of the game’s approach, strategy, and philosophy is required.
He stated that they must alter their strategy for the game even in close games. Wasim emphasized the need of a mental shift and exhorted players to play freely and without concern for failing. He thinks the group has to change its mindset from one of timidity and fear to one of aggressiveness and confidence. Wasim emphasized that the team needs a mental shift in order to perform better even with their talent. He stressed the need for team accountability and growth, delaying any decision regarding his future until after the most recent game.
He mentioned that after the Ireland match, they will discuss and decide openly, as he did before, without any secrecy.
