Karachi: Pakistan head coach Waqar Younis has urged his side to be wary of Zimbabwe when the two teams square-off in the upcoming limited over series. Younis admitted that Zimbabwe have always been a competitive side, saying that it will pose a serious threat to Pakistan, the Dawn reported. He added that he can’t name one player who would be threat to his side, as they all play well as a unit. Speaking on Zimbabwe’s recent tour of Pakistan, Younis said that the African nation performed really well despite failing to win against them. Pakistan will play two Twenty20 internationals and three one-day internationals (ODI) against Zimbabwe in Harare from September 27 before heading for a series against England.

Earlier, Younis had said that their upcoming tour to Zimbabwe will provide Pakistan with the much needed experience so that they can perform better as a unit in the series against England, which starts from October 13 in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Reacting to the exclusion of Anwar Ali from the T20 squad, the 43-year-old said that the all-rounder had suffered from injury and, therefore, he could not be risked, the Express Tribune reported. Waqar revealed that Pakistan have brought some new faces against Zimbabwe that would feature in England as well, adding that the top performers of domestic cricket might also be called to play against England.
