Hassan Nawaz shared following thoughts in post match press conference against UAE:
:Confidence and Team Combination
"There are really good teams here. The UAE team, in particular, is used to these conditions, and Afghanistan is, in my opinion, the best team right now. The pitch is turning, which is great. There's a lot of confidence within our team, and our combination is working very well."
Team Plans and Performance
"My thinking is that we're now aiming for long-term goals. There's not much time to set up for this tournament, so our plan was to score over 200 runs. I'm going to stick to that plan."
On Team Hard Work and Responsibility
"The team is in safe hands, and that's how we need to look at it sometimes. Of course, you and all the young players are working incredibly hard. This season, I feel it's the best Pakistan T20 team we've had. The rest is in your hands—you can only control your hard work, not the final result. That's something we all do."
On Disappointments and Game Decisions
"There has been disappointment. But that's just part of the game. Sometimes you make a good decision; other times, it goes wrong. The issue is that you know you should have taken a review, but now that's not an option."
On Player Performance and Bowling
"I think he's having the best time of his life. I've been watching his innings, and he's also a first-class cricketer of mine."
On Bench Strength and Bowling Challenges
"I don't see this as a matter of bench strength. All of our players are equally talented. You can't say that Hasan Ali is a bench player—he's a very senior player. Sometimes you perform well, and sometimes it's just not your day. If he's a bowler, it doesn't mean that he is now a bad bowler."
On Match Strategy
"It was on this exact pitch. So the plan was to win the toss and bat first. We have a lot of examples of this strategy working well."
On Modern Cricket Approach
"We, along with our coach, have the same plan: to play cricket in the same aggressive way that other countries are playing now."
On Batting Order Flexibility
"Now I don't care what my batting number is. I'll bat wherever the team needs me. When I come here, I don't even know what my number is. I just go wherever the team tells me."
