Imam-ul-Haq speaking after his ODI hundred on debut:
"I would like to thank team management and family who supported me"
"I had an idea of playing in these conditions at the under 19 level, I was working hard and hard work pays off"
"Last half of my innings was tough as I was tired and it was humid"
"I would like to thank Hafeez Bhai as he always supported me"
"He taught me that having the mental confidence to prove myself at the international level"
"I am grateful to Mickey and Sarfaraz for giving me a chance"
"I was really sad when I thought I was out as I had come so close to the milestone"
"But then Sarfaraz Ahmed signalled to me that the ball did not carry and i was relieved"
"I am not bothered about allegations of nepotism as I have a lot of self belief"
"People who say such things about me, I respect them for that as that is their job but it doesnt bother me"
"The best way to answer them is by performing on the ground"
"I am proud of my record as the 2nd youngest debut-century maker and I will do my level best in the future too"
"When I was walking back I was thinking that this was my best opportunity to make a record by scoring 100 on my debut and I was upset"
"Younis Khan showed me how to have mental toughness"
"Shoaib Malik is a great influence and its great to have him in the team as he helps us all"
"I was getting cramps whilst batting and Hafeez told me that you will get lot of shoes thrown at you if you now get out on a bad shot"
"Not only did Hafeez give me my ODI cap, he also told me when we were fielding that I dont know why, but I feel that you will score a 100 today"
"Once Hafeez Bhai came on the crease, he told me that whatever happens, you will not leave without scoring a hundred today"
"Its not my fault that I am Inzi's nephew but all I can do is to perform as well as I can for as long as possible"
"Playing in the U19 World Cup and representing my country was a good experience as the pressure is pretty similar to playing any international game"
"I had pressure when I arrived here and joined the team but after spending time with the team and getting support from all, it did not feel as if it was my first time with the national team"
"I got a lot of support from Mickey, Sarfaraz and seniors and that really helped me settle down"
"I would like to mention my father who supported me - including the times when I bunked classes in School!"
"He gave me all the support I needed through school and U19"
