Former Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq has admitted that the Twenty20 format of cricket was not as easy as it appeared to the spectators while it had also taken its toll on the fitness of the squad which played in the Indian Cricket League.
"We have learnt that Twenty20 cricket is not as easy as it appears to many people. It is a very tough form of the sport. And I think playing consistent matches in the ICL eventually took its toll on our players," Inzamam, who captained the 'Lahore Badshah' team in the ICL, said on returning home.
"We faced many fitness issues with our players and had to juggle around the combination and that affected our performances," the burly batsman added.
The 'Lahore Badshah' players, who lost to 'Hyderabad Heroes' in the final and also were defeated against the World XI, returned home to a quiet reception with no fans at the airport to greet the players.
"The next tournament is around December and before going there we will be having a proper training and conditioning camp so that we are well prepare for the rigors of Twenty20 cricket," Inzamam said.
He said that it was a good move by the ICL to seek recognition from the International Cricket Council. |
