Karachi: Former Pakistan captain Ramiz Raja is expecting that new players will be awarded chances in the second Test against Zimbabwe at Harare Sports Club.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pakistan defeated the hosts in the first Test by an innings and 16 runs. The 58-year-old Ramiz is hopeful of pacer Shahnawaz Dahani’s inclusion.<\/p>\n

“New players should be given an opportunity. I\u2019m hopeful that we get to see [Shahnawaz] Dahani in the second Test match and one or two other changes in the batting and bowling department,” Ramiz said on his YouTube channel<\/p>\n

“This is going to be a one-sided series and Pakistan should finish the next match inside three or four days as well,” he added.<\/p>\n

Ramiz believes that the wins against low-ranked sides in Test cricket will also be beneficial for Pakistan.<\/p>\n

“Pakistan is considered a medium-range team in Test cricket and winning matches, even if it\u2019s against Zimbabwe, will give them confidence and the right headlines will be put up,” he added.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Ramiz praised pacer Hasan Ali and batter Fawad Alam for their splendid performances.<\/p>\n

“Pitch was not that much responsive for fast bowlers but still Hasan Ali bowled well and continued his form. Same with Fawad Alam, who is making opportunities count and had a great Test match,” he maintained.<\/p>\n
