Pakistan are set to host their first ICC event in 29 years. The Champions Trophy begins on Wednesday at Karachi’s National Stadium. Former cricket legend Mohammad Yousuf has expressed his excitement about this historic moment. The Pakistan Cricket Board has earned praise for their swift renovation of all stadiums within a six-month timeframe. New Zealand and India are the strongest contenders in the tournament, according to the former Pakistan captain. Yousf believes Pakistan have the edge because they are playing in home conditions. But they have to play calculated cricket in theournament, he says. He has also offered strategic insights for the team’s approach. \”We need to play in the gaps against the spinners. Rotate the strike and play fewer dots,\” he says of Pakistan’s recent performances on turning wickets in the tri-series final against New Zealand. \”There are too many gaps with five fielders in the 30-yard circle,\” he adds. The match between Pakistan and New Zealand will be played at the National Stadium in Karachi on Wednesday.
