LONDON: Pakistan cricket team head coach Sarfaraz Ahmed has refused to blame individual players for the team\u2019s poor performance during the England tour, saying he will take full responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking after the second day of the Lord\u2019s Test, Sarfaraz said the players had struggled, particularly in batting, but deserved support during difficult times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said players including Mohammad Rizwan, Saud Shakeel and Salman Ali Agha had performed well previously and would be assessed after the series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sarfaraz said the management would decide after the series who should remain in the squad and who should be dropped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also stressed the importance of first-class cricket and urged players to work on their weaknesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are a professional team and must perform according to international standards,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
