Pakistan’s middle-order batter Saud Shakeel said Sunday that Pakistan will try to “forget” the England whitewash and focus on the imminent Test series against New Zealand.

The middle-order batsman, during an interview with Geo News ahead of the first Test against New Zealand, said he will try to do better against the Kiwis and learn from his errors.

We will try to disremember what happened with us in the series against England and shift our focus to the series against New Zealand. It’s a new series, new day, and new beginning and we are eager to do well,” he said.

“We sat after the defeat against England and discussed the areas where we lacked; we will try to overcome those mistakes and do better against New Zealand,” he said.

When probed about which areas he felt the team lacked in, he spoke about his performance and said that he regrets missing occasions to score big despite scoring four fifties in his maiden Test series.

“I regret missing those opportunities, I should’ve converted at least two fifties into centuries and if I had done that, I believe results would’ve been different for Pakistan,” he said. As a player, Shakeel said, his goal is to make Pakistan win Test matches. “I would’ve been more satisfied if my performance had helped Pakistan win those test matches,” he said.
