‘Kane Williamson pointed out one of my weaknesses to me’ – Sahibzada Farhan reveals ahead of Pakistan’s Asian Games 2026 campaign

Sahibzada Farhan will lead Pakistan's cricket team at the Asian Games 2026, which commenced on September 24. Speaking ahead of Pakistan's quarter-final match scheduled for September 28, the 30-year-old batsman revealed that former New Zealand captain Kane Williamson offered him technical advice regarding his batting. Farhan noted that Williamson advised him to avoid playing too many dot balls and to boost his strike rate during the powerplay phase.

Farhan enters the tournament after finishing as the leading run-scorer in the T20 World Cup 2026 with 383 runs across six innings. While currently assigned the captaincy specifically for the Asian Games, Farhan stated he would accept a permanent role if offered, though his primary focus remains on leading Pakistan through the tournament ahead of the medal matches on October 3.
