Khan hits back

 (Posted On Wed 10 March, 2010)

Well we do have new additions. We have just signed a lad who will give us even more depth in our bowling.I saw him bowl on Sunday and he was quite magnificent bowling a wonderful line and length against good batsman.I think he will be a revelation. I am also looking to recruit a batsman and know that one experienced batsman is very eager to play for us.We need more depth to our batting line up and you can't buy experience.

Well as for my captaincy last season, I thought I did really well.We won the league and got promoted last season.What more can a captain do.I have been aggresive with my captaincy, but at times when bowlers are bowling both sides of the wicket then you have to be more defensive.My captaincy instincts are good, and I got more decisions right then wrong last season, hence, us winning the league.

I have a very strong bowling unit. I regard Arsalan, Bilal, Asman, Adeel, Rian,James and at times Sonu the bowlers who I will turn too. However in some important games, I am going to and will continue to use my experienced bowlers more because we need to win the game.We play for fun but also to win. The nature of my captaincy will always be to use my gut instincts in situations where we need a wicket or need to bowl a tidy over. I expect my players to play and be part of a team that wants to win.Everybody will get a chance, and when you do then you have to perform to the best of your abilities.

As for the likes of giving other people a bowl, well that won't happen in league or cup matches.We will always try and get maximum points in our matches. As for friendlies, I will experiment a lot more and give people who have not bowled before a chance.
