“Don’t highlight him”: Pak’s cricket brother supports Hasan Alia after expensive fall prey in T20 World Cup | Cricket news

KARACHI: Pakistan’s pacifier Hasan Ali, who has been in the eye of the storm after dropping a decisive catch in the T20 World Cup semi-finals for Australia, has received full support from the country’s cricketers such as Wasim Akram and Misbah-ul-Haq.
Former Pakistani captains Akram, Waqar Younis, Rashid Latif, Misbah and Inzamam-ul-Haq supported Hasan and said it would be unfair to hold him accountable for the loss of Pakistan’s five goals on Thursday night.

“I don’t understand why one player should be fired. Hasan has been an excellent performer for us and won matches. Anyone can drop a catch or take a day off – does that make him a bad player?” asked Akram.
“We don’t want the whole country to get after poor Hasan Ali now. I’ve been through this, Waqar Younis has been through it. In other countries it’s just a game for people. The next day you say well tried, bad luck, better luck next time , and move on, “he said on” A Sports. ”
Inzamam also agreed, noting that mistakes can occur in such high-pressure games.
“The Australians also dropped their catch. Hasan has very low confidence and I think it is the responsibility of the team management to make sure he doesn’t fall completely,” he added.
Waqar repeated the feeling.
“No one does anything on purpose. As a former player, I know I’ve been through such bad times … I had a day off in bowling … dropped catches. I remember how people criticized me after the semi-finals of the 1996 World Cup, but I have to understand, that it is a sport, “he recalled.
Matthew Wade’s wild hit in Shaheen Shah Afrid’s third ball required 22 runs in the second final round.
Wade responded by hitting three more sixes to beat Pakistan.
Hasan also conceded 44 runs of four transfers against the Australians.
“Severe criticism and trolling on social media can hurt these players mentally, and I can tell you that the entire Pakistani team has crashed after losing such a big match,” Latif said.
“The players are going to their rooms, they are quiet, they are not talking to their families and the defeat haunts them. But I think we need to move forward and return strongly,” he added.
He said the Pakistani team had given a good self-explanation in the tournament and there was a lot to develop at next year’s T20 World Cup in Australia.
“The way he came back from his injury problems was a miracle, and he’s won so many matches. So I would ask cricket fans if he made a mistake, he’s human, and don’t discourage him any more,” Misbah said.
Pakistan’s fast bowler Wahab Riaz said it wasn’t always easy to pick up the ball under the lights at Dubai Stadium.
“Everyone drops the catch. I think Hasan has to lift himself up and move on. He hasn’t had a very good World Cup and has a little self-confidence.”
