Asad Shafiq at a media interaction:
"The camps are good for us all to train together and helps to build teamwork, the facilities here are top class. If we miss anything during our individual training then we can complete it here"
"In the first week we're just focusing on fitness, there's one session in the morning at 7am and then one at 3pm. There's no nets in the first week, just gym and ground training. I think after that we'll start batting and bowling in the nets"
"We're fortunate to have Misbah bhai with us, he has done a lot for Pakistan so for all the guys as batsmen, it's a good opportunity to learn from him. I have played with him, but it's a good chance for those who haven't to learn from him"
"If we lose series, it's not because of bowling or batting specifically, we play badly as a team so we lose. In Dubai, batsmen have performed very well. I admit that outside UAE, the batsmen haven't been up to the mark"
"It's difficult when there's a large gap between series, I was trying to practice at my club and I work on my fitness. If you don't have match practice, it becomes difficult. Now the domestic season is coming up so that will be good preparation for the upcoming series"
"Responsibility has increased on us after Misbah and Younis' departure. We should have performed better than we have after they left. Myself and Azhar bhai haven't played many big innings but we have this in our minds, that we need to take responsibility. We haven't been able to convert innings into big innings like they used to"
"In the last 3 years, I have been playing domestic One Dayers also and have been performing well. Whatever's in my hands, I do that. Selection is in the selectors' hands. I just want to keep improving as a batsman"
"I never felt that Misbah bhai is too strict. It's true that he doesn't compromise on things like fitness. He works a lot with juniors, he sits with them and talks to them and also explains. He's very co-operative but you have to work hard"
"I have batted a lot at number 6 in my first 5-6 years, it's a big disadvantage because you can't score big runs as you often have to bat with the tail. Now I am batting higher up the order so I will try to improve"
"Players who are coming in the team are very good and they have the capability of doing well for Pakistan and helping us win series"
