Doesn&#8217;t matter how much talent one has. International cricket is all about courage and absorbing pressure otherwise one can&#8217;t survive,&#8221; Afridi said while talking to reporters last night.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s a need to change players&#8217; approach and the management has to give confidence as this is Pakistan&#8217;s best available talent,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>It must be noted that the national side is under severe criticism due to bad performances in away conditions.
