Lahore: India-Pak cricket matches have always been a battle of great tension both on and off the field. As it is a battle of pride for both the countries, the teams will fight with all the weapons available on the field. Its pressure will vibrate in the gallery, television screens and mobile screens. If there is a cricket match that fans can watch without even taking time off from work, it is the clash between neighbors India and Pakistan. Therefore, clouds of great pressure will cover the stars.
India and Pakistan teams are facing each other in the group stage of the ODI World Cup, which will be hosted by India this year. Before this, there was a fight between the two teams in the Asia Cup, but the mental pressure of the India-Pak World Cup match in the world’s biggest cricket stadium has caught the Pakistani team. The Pakistan Cricket Board has sought the help of a sports psychologist to reduce the mental stress of the World Cup. None of the players, including skipper Babar Azam, have played many matches in India. The Pakistan Cricket Board is of the opinion that no small strategy will be enough to overcome the noise of the Indian fans at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, which seats more than 1 lakh spectators. Moreover, the match will also have huge media attention. Hence, a psychologist or mental conditioning coach will accompany the Pakistan team in the World Cup.
Earlier in 2012, a sports psychologist was with the Pakistan cricket team when they toured three ODIs and five T20Is. The current chairperson, Zaka Ashrush, was the head of the board then. PBC has not yet decided on anyone as a psychologist or mental conditioning coach. Paddy Upton, who has experience in the Pakistan Super League, is likely to be considered for the role. Paddy Upton also has the experience of working with the Indian team in the past.
