Having experienced pacers in the team will benefit us to compete with the Kiwis,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>Azhar believes that as a senior player, his role is to play well and support every player. &#8220;Team expects from me to perform because of my experience and I&#8217;ll try to support captain, bowlers whenever needed,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>Azhar wants batsman to play a long innings once he gets set. &#8220;Not every batsman will get set on these pitches and wickets will also fell. One has to make sure to score big runs, if he is accustom to the condition,&#8221; he concluded.<\/p>\n<p>It must be noted that Pakistan&#8217;s Test squad took part in the second and final session in Mount Maunganui ahead of the first Test which starts tomorrow at 3.00 p.m (PST).<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Read:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/arysports.tv\/contest-will-even-against-nz-rizwan-upbeat-ahead-first-test\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u2018Contest will be even against NZ\u2019 Rizwan upbeat ahead of first Test<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Karachi: Former Test captain Azhar Ali thinks that the pacers will play a huge part in the Test series against New Zealand as conditions are <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/?p=13582\" title=\"Azhar Ali expects pacers to fully exploit New Zealand\u2019s conditions\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13582"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=13582"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13582\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13584,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13582\/revisions\/13584"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=13582"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=13582"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=13582"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
