I want to be a good all-rounder in all three formats Hasan Ali.

LAHORE -- Pakistan cricket team pacer Hasan Ali has said that he wants to be a good all-rounder in all three formats and the presence of Abdul Razzaq with the team will help him a lot.

'I want to be a good all-rounder in all the three formats. The presence of a former great like Abdul Razzaq, who has joined us recently, has already been a big help to me. He is teaching me how to do power-hitting while keeping a balance at the crease. He has been a quality all-rounder for Pakistan and hopefully, his presence with the team will make a difference,' Hasan said this while addressing a virtual conference on Wednesday.

Talking about Pakistan team's T20 World Cup match against arch-rivals India, the fast bowler said that he always wants to win the match against India just like the cricket-crazy fans of his country. 'When we won the Champions Trophy (in 2017), it was a very good time for us and we will try to beat them again in the T20 World Cup. We will give our best. Playing against India is always a pressure game because of the expectations of fans from both countries.

'Even those people, who don't normally watch cricket, follow the Pakistan vs India matches, so the pressure on the players is high but we will give our best. I can only say that believe in this team as these players keep the ability to win matches for Pakistan any day, so we'll be trying to win that match by all means,' he asserted.

When asked about the second-string New Zealand side, who were currently on Pakistan tour for ODI and T20 series, he said they were a talented bunch of players. 'Obviously, they've come here while playing in dry conditions in Bangladesh, hence they can give us a tough time.'
