“It’s not easy to come back to international cricket in 50 overs after my injury, after seven months,” Ibrahim Zadran says. “I haven’t played ODI cricket for the last one year. The expectation was there from me. I was trying to put a little bit of pressure on myself. [What have you worked on?] I was trying to take time and work on my basics. I always try to keep it simple. [Advice from Afg mentor Younis Khan?] He is sharing his experience with us. I am trying to talk to him a lot during the nets sessions, and I have chatted to Jonathan Trott in the last two sessions. I just asked him, ‘What do you see, anything different?’ He said, ‘You’re playing very well. Once you cross 40, you’ll play a big innings.’ I brought that into my game. Before the game, I had a chat with Rashid. Whenever I chat with Rashid, I get a score.”
