Dear Mohammad

In response to your question, it is important that you have a solid defensive game, before you can begin to think aboout develping your attacking shots.

Simply put, this is because having  a sound defensive technique will give you the same technical fundamentals required to expand and develop your attacking game from.

You will also find that you will be able to play longer innings and make bigger scores too.

Try and remember the key points to follow%3A

1) Head and eyes level, ideally above middle stump.

2)Feet parallel and foot length apart (this is a guideline, individuals may differ).

3) Weight evenly distributed, with head slightly pushed forward.

4) Relaxed position, side-on.

5) Bat handle close to body, in line with and underneath shoulders

I have attached a sample session for your reference

Hope this helps
