Sydney, Jan. 25 : Pakistani coach Intikhab Alam has called for inclusion of more youngsters in the team so that the side can field a solid squad for next year's World Cup.
Displeased with the poor performance of the team in the second ODI against Australia, Alam said Pakistan would have to carry out a post-mortem of their Australian tour.
"We need a thorough post-mortem. It's evident that there are problems with this team. I personally believe that we need find fresh blood to boost this side," he said after Pakistan succumbed to a 140-run defeat against the Australians.
Alam said some of the players in the team are in the twilight years of their careers and needed to be replaced.
However, he refrained from taking names. (ANI)
