Former Pakistan all-rounder Abdul Razzaq said that Hardik Pandya needs to work hard to become a world-class cricketer. He is not even around a player like Kapil Dev at the moment. Razzaq told PTI that his statement of 'baby bowler' given to Jaspreet Bumrah, the leader of Indian fast attack was misunderstood.
40-year-old Razzaq, who was among the best all-rounders of Pakistan, said that the Indian team will continue to dominate their team in competitions like World Cup, as India has more ability to withstand the pressure of big matches. When asked about Pandya, who is struggling with fitness problem, he said that it seems that this 26 year old player is not working very hard.
Razzaq said, 'Pandya is a good player, but he can be a great all-rounder. It all depends on hard work. When you don't give enough time to the game, your performance will be poor. ' He said, 'They have to prepare better physically as well as mentally. As you have seen, he got injured many times in the last year when you earn a lot of money, you start running away from hard work. Look at Mohammad Aamir, he did not work too hard which is seen in his performance. '
