Speaking exclusively to PakPassion.net, former Yorkshire and England opening batsman Geoff Boycott stated that unless Pakistani wickets are made more bowler friendly, then the bulk of the country's batsman will continue to struggle overseas.

"Pakistani pitches are far too much in favour of the batsman. There has to be in future some sort of balance and equality between bat and ball, otherwise Pakistan will continue to produce batsmen who can't score runs away from the sub continent. The wickets are too flat and too true", stated the straight talking Yorkshireman.

"Those in authority in Pakistan need to address the situation, because at the moment as far as I can see, you can just plant your front foot down the track and score runs with a stick of rhubarb. As a batsman you don't have to think too much about your batting, you are not tested technically and you dont have to concentrate too hard to score freely on those wickets. The issue here is that it's difficult to adapt to other types of wickets when you have been brought up on such flat tracks", added Boycott who is part of the TenSports commentary team for the one day series between Pakistan and New Zealand.

Boycott continued "The plan is simple, you see off a few overs from the new ball and you are set. Then you can just counter the bowling by planting your front foot down the track and playing almost everything off the front foot with ease. I would say that my mother could score runs out there".
