Devon Conway, in a conversation about the upcoming series with New Zealand Cricket, said playing against Pakistan is always a challenge for the side as the Green Shirts have a skilled batting and bowling unit.
“We have played a lot of cricket against Pakistan, particularly in white ball cricket,” Devon Conway said in a video shared by NZC. “They’re a very skillful unit with bat and ball.”
“You know, they’ve got some really quality fast bowling and some quality batters up front. So, you know, for us, we’ve got a good idea as to how they approach things. And, you know, it’s always a good challenge playing against Pakistan, specifically in white ball cricket,” the batter said.
