We’re adapting well: Fakhar

Pakistan became the first team to travel to the United Kingdom, over a month before the ICC World Cup 2019 in England and Wales, where they will take on England in a limited-overs series before the premier tournament.

Before the five one-day internationals and one-off Twenty20 International, they are playing three tour games against county sides, making them among the teams best placed to get used to the conditions before the World Cup.

They have put in good all-round performances in the two games so far, beating Kent by 100 runs and Northamptonshire by eight wickets. Their batting has been in especially good touch, with Imad Wasim striking a century in the first game and Fakhar Zaman in the next.

“We adapted well,” said Zaman on Monday, after his knock. “It’s a good thing that our batsmen are all among the runs.”
