Pakistan skipper Misbah-ul-Haq has said that tracks in England would not be that difficult like on his team's last tour to South Africa. He made these observations in a post match press conference after Sui Northern Gas team defeated WAPDA to win the President Cup One-Day Cricket Tournament at National Stadium here on Friday and completed a double after winning President's Trophy first class event a few week ago.
He said apart from playing conditions and pitches in South Africa, SA also had a strong and formidable team and that proved difficult for Pakistan team. Misbah's team suffered 3-0 loss to South Africa and lost the 5-match One-Day International (ODI) series 3-2. Pakistan got the consolation when they won the one-off T20 International match after their first match was washed out.
Misbah said playing in South African conditions will help the team to perform well in the Champions Trophy. He said Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is holding the training camp of Pakistan team in Abbotabad to provide conditions similar to England. Responding to a question, he said it was not possible to prepare lively or fast tracks in Pakistan because of warm conditions here.
"This is the last Champions Trophy and we want to make it memorable," he commented. He expressed the hope that just concluded one-day event will help in the build-up for the Champions Trophy. Misbah said players performed well in the event and that could benefit Pakistan team. Commenting on dropping of senior batsman Younis Khan, he said in circumstances or when a situation arises any one can be recalled. He said Younis Khan is a class batsman and anyone can be dropped or get unfit and that is part of the process.
