"Disappointed about the Misbah-Waqar resignations so close to the T20 World Cup" : Hassan Ali
Hassan Ali speaking to the press:
"When we won the Champions Trophy (in 2017), it was a very good time for us and we will try to beat them again in the T20 World Cup. We will give our best. Playing against India is always a pressure game because of the expectations of fans from both countries"
"Even those people who don't normally watch cricket follow the India vs Pakistan matches, so the pressure on the players is high but we will give it our best"
"We know how to bowl in those conditions but yes you can see all teams have picked many spinners in their squads"
The Misbah-ul-Haq and Waqar Younis resignations:
"Honestly speaking, I was disappointed because the World Cup was coming and such a change happened and they left - but it is not our domain as a player and this is something for the Pakistan Cricket Board and others to handle. Our job is to perform and try to win matches for Pakistan"
"Waqar Younis was my role model and I wish them the best. I will miss Waqar's guidance as I took up bowling after watching him bowl on screen"
"We all know that Philander is a great bowler and he has performed at the top level. We are looking forward to working with him but it is too early to say how much benefit we can get from him as this will only be clear once he joins the squad"
"I think the New Zealand team has enough potential to give us a tough time and the thing is they have to come to Pakistan after playing a tough series in Bangladesh in dry conditions and they will not be easy to beat"
"Right now, the focus is on the home series against New Zealand because my team needs me to deliver for them all the time," he said.
"I want to be a good all-rounder in all three formats. The presence of someone like Abdul Razzaq who has joined us recently has already been a big help to me. He is teaching me how to do power hitting while keeping a balance at the crease. He has been a quality all-rounder for Pakistan"
