Pakistani fast bowler Haris Rauf on Saturday said the team were trying to shut out the noise and focus after a torrent of criticism over their shock loss to Zimbabwe at the T20 World Cup. 


Pakistan will take on The Netherlands in Perth on Sunday to try and stay alive in the tournament after nail-biting last ball defeats to Zimbabwe and arch-rivals India. Former Pakistani stars including Shoaib Akhtar and Javed Miandad slammed the team for their poor start to the World Cup, describing their batting as “shameful” during the loss to Zimbabwe.

“It is people’s job to talk, so they will talk. You face criticism in any sport you play,” Rauf told reporters. “We have come here to play a tournament and our focus is on that. So we try not to listen to them (ex-players and pundits) much and play our game.” Rauf said despite the defeats, morale was high in the Pakistani camp. “There is hurt but we have belief in each other’s abilities. We have bonded well, sat together and tried to address our mistakes,” he said.
