Lessons Learned from the Asia Cup
Reflecting on Pakistan’s performance in recent tournaments, Salman Agha said the team has learned valuable lessons from the Asia Cup and is determined to correct its mistakes ahead of the T20 World Cup.

All-Round Role: Batting First, Bowling If Needed
Known for his dependable middle-order batting and part-time off-spin, Salman Agha said that while his main focus is on batting, he is fully prepared to contribute with the ball whenever the team needs him.

This flexibility adds depth to Pakistan’s lineup, offering an additional bowling option when conditions demand it.
