Pakistan\u2019s emerging all-rounder Saim Ayub has termed his recent dip in form not as a bad patch but a challenge, saying his focus remains on learning rather than immediate results.<\/p>\n
Speaking to a private TV in Lahore, the aggressive top-order batter, currently representing Hyderabad Kingsmen, said the team environment has exceeded his expectations.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am very excited to be part of a new team. I have previously played with several players in the squad, including those who have featured in the USA and domestic circuit,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Ayub added that the dressing room atmosphere is friendly, praising captain Marnus Labuschagne for his positive and approachable leadership.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is very cheerful, and the environment in the team is quite enjoyable,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n
Regarded as one of the most expensive players in the Pakistan Super League (PSL), Ayub said expectations remain high regardless of which team he represents. He noted that with an Australian captain and coaching setup, the team\u2019s mindset revolves around playing attacking cricket.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur approach is to play aggressive cricket in batting, bowling and fielding. The management is trying to instill that mindset across all departments,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
Reflecting on his current form, Ayub maintained that such phases are part of a cricketer\u2019s career.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is not a bad patch but a challenge. These challenges come in every career. I am trying to learn and improve,\u201d he said, adding that he remains committed to following a process rather than worrying about results.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
