KARACHI: Islamabad United head coach Mike Hesson said batsman Azam Khan is a special talent. The former New Zealand coach praised Azam but wants him to bring more consistency to his game.
“Azam can attack both spinners and pacers. He has an ability that few have,” he said.
“There is still more work to be done on Azam as he is still not a finished product. If he brings more consistency, every team in the world will pick him,” added Hesson.
Meanwhile, Hesson also shed light on his experience in the PSL, which he is thoroughly enjoying.
“I am very impressed with the cricketing talent in Pakistan. The spin bowling talent in the PSL is quite impressive. Pakistan need to work a little harder on the power bowlers.
On the other hand, Hesson spoke about Islamabad United and the methods of getting the best out of their players.
“The secret to Islamabad’s success is maximizing talent.
