Babar Azam's Pre-Match press conference today at Leeds :
"Look, we have changed our mindset with respect to the modern day requirement.
After the first match, we had a discussion about the kind of cricket we wanted to play, after that we changed our way and style of playing, But it depends on what the situation demands and that needs to be kept in mind as well.
You can't always keep on blindly slogging. People want us to keep on hitting sixes and fours only but singles and doubles matter just as much.
For instance, if the asking rate is around 12-13, you can achieve the target by hitting boundaries now and then and maintaining running between the wickets as well.
So I think this is an efficient plan on which we have been working for quite some time now and in the previous series we got the reward after executing this plan.
Such things of course take time, but once you have achieved them, they give you a lot of confidence."
