'Indian team has the best lower order and that's a big plus'

One of the most formidable batsmen of his era, Inzamam-ul-Haq has said India are way ahead of other teams in T20s due to their 
much-improved lower-order batting. 

"All teams have good top-orders. Australia have, South Africa have. But it is important to have a strong lower order. India has the best lower order and that's a big plus," Inzy said at the recent Aaj Tak Cricket Salaam conclave. Inzamam said Pakistan team was struggling because no international team was playing in their country and Pakistani players were not playing in IPL.

"We need cricket in Pakistan and one step is taken with the PSL. Hopefully things will improve very soon." Inzamam also said that Pakistan is very much capable of making a turnaround in the World T20 starting in India on March 8.

"It only takes one good match for a turnaround. Pakistan is not as good as India at the moment but they can surely bounce back," said Inzamam. The batting great further said that what is hurting Pakistan most is lack of international cricket in Pakistan. 

"Not many people followed the team when it was playing against Australia and England in UAE. But last year when Zimbabwe came to Pakistan to play three games, everyone took notice of it.

"Our younger players are not able to see international stars in action, it is discouraging a lot of them. Now Pakistan Super League has started but it will take 3-4 years before it benefits Pakistan cricket," he said.
