Despite a 1-4 defeat in New Zealand, Salman Ali Agha, Pakistan's T20 captain, remains undaunted. He points to the challenging pitch conditions in New Zealand, suggesting that the new players, once they acclimatize with proper exposure, will eventually prove their mettle.

Salman, preparing the team for the Asia Cup and the next year's T20 World Cup, expressed confidence that the new prospects should adjust by then. While pleased with his own form, he highlighted the need for players to balance aggression with strategy to avoid dismissals from poor shot selections.

The tour to New Zealand saw several young talents, including Mohammad Haris and Sufiyan Muqeem, being tested after senior players like Babar Azam were sidelined. With more games and guidance, these players are expected to rise to the occasion in future tournaments.
