Younis said that the team management was disappointed because they would have liked to hold more practice drills but it was not possible due to the constant rain in the area.

“We could not have ideal preparations due to rain. We had a few practices indoor and a few on the ground. It would have been better if the sun was out and we could have spent more time on the ground,” Younis added.

Pakistan cricket team is currently in a bio-secure bubble at the Incora Ground, Derby. The team is scheduled to leave for Cardiff on Tuesday, with the first ODI set to be played at the venue on Thursday, 8 July.

The 49-year old said that all of the bowlers have been involved in only T20 cricket over the past month and they might need some time to adjust to ODI cricket. He said that the bowlers will need to change their mindset as soon as they enter the field for the first ODI.
