He emphasised the team's strong balance and energy, attributing his hopes for a successful T201 series to the mix of returning players and new talent.
“I think we have a very interesting and exciting side, with a few comebacks and a few new faces as well. I am very excited to lead this team and we really hope to have a great series,” Agha told Pakistan Cricket Board's (PCB) digital platform.
Reflecting on Pakistan's recent T20l victory over Bangladesh, the right-handed batter credited the team's success to their consistency and effective implementation of game plans.
“We had a great series against Bangladesh at home, and I am hopeful for good results in the upcoming series as well. We just want to execute our plans for a longer period. As I always say, we have a great team — a team that can beat any side. Obviously, South Africa are a very good side; they have a few misses, but still possess a lot of talent,” he added.
