PSL 2023: Faheem Ashraf reveals Islamabad United's secret of success.

ISLAMABAD -- Faheem Ashraf, who is in Islamabad United of the Pakistan Super League's (PSL) eighth edition, feels that overpowering the fear of failure is one of the key reasons for his team's success in the tournament.

In a conversation with media, Faheem said that when a player is empowered to play his natural game the way he wants, then it is very much likely that his performance will produce great results for the team.

'In United's squad, we are not afraid of losing a match, we don't think about any consequences of losing a match, we are only focused on winning - nothing else,' Faheem said.

'When you think about things like what will happen if I am not successful then it will not allow you to try new things or adopt anything out of the box which could have helped you,' the all-rounder said.

Islamabad United is the only team to win the PSL twice and is known for its aggressive brand of cricket. However, Faheem believes that the team plays 'aggressive and smart cricket'.

'The captain and the team management have told us to express ourselves in our natural way and when you have such freedom to express yourself, you feel confident while playing your game,' Faheem added.

United is currently placed in the third position on the points table with 8 points from 6 games and they will face Quetta Gladiators on Sunday (today). Gladiators are currently at bottom of the table.
