Hesson eyes squad depth as focus shifts to ODI World Cup

Pakistan head coach Mike Hesson is focused on building greater quality and depth within the ODI setup as attention gradually turns towards next year’s ICC Men's Cricket World Cup. “Look, I think with one day cricket with the World Cup in mind, in a year and a half, you know, we have to widen the group. So rather than the same players always being selected, the ODI squad is a work in progress. And there's a number of areas we need to develop. “And we need to make sure come the World Cup in a year and a half that we've actually got the best squad,” said Mike Hesson.
