Fakhar Zaman speaking to media:
"Our preparations [for Asia Cup] are going well as you can see here where we are doing 3 4 hour sessions"
"I always endeavor to score big in every game I play for my team"
"The pressure of an India Pakistan game is different and I have experienced this already "
"It will be wrong to say that there will be no pressure during this game; there will be pressure on Indian bowlers and on us as well"
"Pressure will be on both sides and result will depend on who is able to keep control of their nerves when that time comes and plays better at that time"
"We have been playing in Dubai for a while now and that is in our favour as Dubai has virtually been our home ground"
"Since I have joined the Pakistan team, Mickey Arthur has been insistent on fitness"
"We will do our best in the Asia Cup [as openers] to make sure that our middle order plays less and set big targets for the opposition"
"You do feel the difference when your opening partner changes"
"In the case of Imam-ul-Haq, we have both been playing together at HBL so we have good understanding about calling (for runs), and we both know each other's game well"
"This is really helping us and if we make mistakes then we tell each other about it and give advice too"
"India is a world class side and I don't think it [absence of Virat Kohli] will make such a big difference"
"Virat Kohli is a world class player but India side is also good and hopefully everyone will see a good contest between both sides"
"[Hafeez issue] is something for selectors to decide, when I retire I will speak about this!"
"I am prepared to play a big innings but we will see how I do when I play in Asia Cup"
"I am being asked to bowl a lot in nets by Mickey Arthur and hopefully if given a chance I will also help my team with my bowling "
