Waqar wants right attitude in new era

Lahore — Pakistan head coach Waqar Younis on Friday warned only players with the right attitude will represent the national team as it embarks on a “new era” with their Bangladesh tour next week.

Pakistan lost in the quarterfinals to the victorious Australians in the World Cup last month, which was jointly hosted by Australia and New Zealand. After this failure, Waqar submitted a strongly worded report calling for opener Ahmed Shehzad and middle-order batsman Umar Akmal to be dropped from the team. He accused both players of under-performing and a lack of commitment in the report to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).
