Pakistan’s batting consultant Matthew Hayden praised the national cricket team’s dressing room culture, saying he has never seen a “more disciplined and humble approach to winning.”
The former Australian cricketer said that being in a Pakistani dressing room is also a “phenomenal” cultural experience for him.
Speaking to his former colleagues Brad Haddin and Brett Lee on an Australian network, the Pakistani batting consultant said cricket is like a religion for people in this part of the world.
He also termed the intensity of the India-Pakistan match as the “holy grail of the cricketing calendar.”
“Sitting inside that changing room in Dubai, and keep in mind I have been there since almost five weeks now, I have seen nothing like I saw last night,” he said, adding the scenes were “phenomenal”.
“There was such passion and commitment,” he said about the atmosphere during the India-Pakistan game in the T20 World Cup.
One of the things that those pictures didn’t show, there’s a lot of euphoria and stardom outside the dressing room but inside the dressing room “I have never seen a more disciplined and more humble approach to winning, there’s great humility,” he said.
