Durban: Pakistan women’s team head coach David Hemp is confident that the other members of the side will step in the absence of regular captain Bismah Maroof.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hemp is on his first assignment in South Africa, where the Girls in Green will take on South Africa in limited-over series. While talking to reporters via virtual presser, Hemp believes that the batters in middle-order will grab the opportunities.<\/p>\n

\u201cLosing your captain is a big loss and it\u2019s unfortunate because of the experience she brings into the side,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut besides this, the key thing to me that it gives new faces to step up. It also gives us a chance to look at someone else,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Hemp revealed the team’s approach will be of winning all six games (3 ODIs, 3 T20Is) but the main priority is the 50-over format.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur first priority is to win all six games but we are looking most at the 50-over format as we need the best opportunity to qualify for June-July World Cup Qualifiers in Sri Lanka and then in February in New Zealand [50-over World Cup].<\/p>\n

During the presser, hemp was asked to share his thoughts on the lack of power hitters compared to other women’s teams.<\/p>\n

“We have players who can clear the ropes but we don’t have as many compared to other countries around the world. For me, power-hitting is more about confidence and hitting in pockets [gaps] as suppose to clearing fifteen rows back,” he concluded.<\/p>\n

The squad has started to train collectively after returning negative in the second COVID-19 Test. The first ODI between Pakistan and South Africa will take place on January 20 at Kingsmead Stadium, Durban<\/p>\n
