I’m being completely honest, but it’s one of those things where you just need to go with the flow. Right now, I am in a different environment, and things are done differently here. Some may agree and some may disagree on how things are done. But I am here to help the Pakistan team perform well, make the players better and improve. So I have put all my attention and energy into it. It is worth noting that Jason had taken up coaching in Pakistan’s red ball cricket earlier this year, so he said that he had come here with a long-term plan.

For me, when I came to the board of Pakistan Cricket, I was told that the plan is for a long term. We needed to make sure our communication was spot on. I made it a real focus and so if those things aren’t done the way you want, you can be disappointed.
