LAHORE: Test cricketer Taufeeq Umar said Thursday that batsmen would need to work harder to take advantage of the new law which would allow the use of two new balls from each end during One-day internationals, Geo News reported.

Speaking during the fast track coaching programme taking place at the National Cricket Academy, Umar said he tried to improve his technique with the help of Mohsin Khan. He added that the participants of the programme were getting the opportunity to improve their fitness due to the hot weather.

The ongoing fast track coaching programme is providing training to the country’s top batsmen and bowlers. The programme is being supervised by former cricketers Sarfaraz Nawaz, Mohsin Khan and Ijaz Ahmed.
