Sports journalist Imran Sohail on Wednesday hoped that Pakistan will dominate the West Indies in the forthcoming Test series, slated to happen from January 17 in Multan.
Speaking exclusively on Samaa Digital programme, “Zor Ka Jor”, Sohail said: “Yesterday, both Aaqib Javed and Aleem Dar had visited the Multan Cricket Stadium to review the preparations. When they [Aaqib Javed and Aleem Dar] previously visited Multan against England, they sounded the alarm for the visitors.”
“So the West Indies will definitely remain cautious of the red-ball series against the Green Shirts,” Sohail said.
“Sources have told that Aaqib Javed had asked the grounds staff to remove the grass from the Multan wicket and turn on the fans," he added.
“All the three spinners, Abrar Ahmed, Sajid Khan and Noman Ali had a decent practice yesterday to brace for the West Indies challenge,” Sohail said.
He maintained, “All three spinners will play tomorrow. Otherwise, the two will play for sure.”
“Hopefully, we will get the match result within four days or maybe before that,” Sohail said.
He said, “Definitely, the pitch will definitely help the spinners due to the dry conditions. But it will be interesting to see how our batters respond.”
Sohail believed that the batters who will play on the front foot will survive on the wicket considering the potential conditions in Multan.
