Playing the Short Ball Against Quicks

by Ghazi
(Ontario, Canada)

I am 14 years old and about 5’4″. I am an opening batsmen and enjoy playing the quicks, but i find it difficult to play the pull shot against them. I find that i dont get into position in time and play the ball late. Since I am short I would like to work on my back foot game and I was wondering if you have any tips for me and if I should use a trigger movement to help me(I currently have a Hashim Amla type trigger movement).

Thanks in advance, Ghazi
