ISLAMABAD, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 21st Sep, 2020 ) :Veteran all-rounder Mohammad Hafeez believes young batsman Haider Ali was a great talent and said the Attock-born cricketer plays with tremendous confidence which is required at the top level.

"Haider is a great talent and plays with tremendous confidence which is required at the top level. However, he still needs to work a lot on his technique. If your technique is solid, then you can survive for long in international cricket. I hope he is working on it because if he improves his technique, his shot range will become ever better. I am praying for his success," Hafeez, said in an interview on wicketkeeper-batsman Kamran Akmal's YouTube channel as quoted by cricketpakistan.

"I always like it when our youngsters showcase their talent in front of the world. This is how Pakistan cricket will move forward. I want more youngsters to come but after they are fully prepared and ready for international cricket," he said.
