LAHORE: (UrduPoint/Pakistan Point News-Jan 11th, 2021) Pakistan Head Coach Misbahul Haq said that lack of training for undergoing strict isolation rules in New Zealand was the major reason of their defeat.

The Head Coach said: “ The injury of Babar Azam is a big issue for us. It was a big loss for us, especially in Test cricket. This was a setback that made us down morally as well as on the field,”.
“We should accept that the opposition were beter than us in all three departments,” he further said, pointing out that they had been played good cricket for past couple of years.
They said that they tried out best on the field during the series but unfortunately results did not go their way, he further said.
