"Mohammad Amir is the finest exponent of pace and swing when he gets it 100% right" : Mickey Arthur
Quotes from Mickey Arthur's presser.
"Mohammad Amir is fully fit; he's fine and a 100% [fit] and ready to go"
"We rested Amir out in the Leicestershire game as that was part of rotation [policy]"
"I am not worried at all about them [Azhar & Asad]; They are fine players and their Test records speak for themselves"
"They are big match players and they are all doing well at the moment"
"I am confident that they [Azhar and Asad] will deliver for us"
"England are always good; England in their home conditions are a different team to England abroad"
"We are just worrying about ourselves as we have a young team"
"We have changed our brand of cricket and we have changed the way we want to play"
"Of course we can [prove everyone wrong]; we haven't come here not to win"
"We have an intelligent bunch of skilled cricketers"
"If we get the breaks and things go our way, we will certainly put England under pressure"
"Honestly speaking, Imam-ul-Haq is a totally different character to Inzi"
"Nothing really fazes him [Imam]"
"He played beautifully for us under pressure against Ireland and also scored 100 on his ODI debut"
"We are incredibly fit due to the fact that we train unbelievably hard - which is not to say that we weren't fit in 2016 which was the start of our fitness regime"
"The brand of cricket we are playing is certainly a more attacking brand"
"We felt that we needed to change over time and we felt we needed another bowler in"
"We felt that another bowler will lessen the load, particularly as we don't have Yasir Shah"
"The emphasis [now] is on taking wickets and on scoring"
"We were probably a more negative team in 2016 than we are now"
"But that wasn't a bad thing as it fitted in with what we wanted to do at that time"
"Shadab is a wonderful spinner and like many other young guys, has cut his teeth in Twenty20 cricket"
"[In his initial days] I likened him [Shadab] to Imran Tahir which was leg spin, leg spin, googly googly whereas now he understands what he needs to do"
"He's bowled in pressure situations for us and at times he's controlled the run-rate beautifully for us"
"He's got all the tricks and a wonderful talent, and I hope we all see the best of him"
"Hasan Ali and Rahat are in the twelve and we will decide tomorrow which of those will play; so there will be an Ali playing, depends whether its a Rahat or Hasan"
"Mohammad Amir is the finest exponent of pace and swing when he gets it 100% right"
"We've used the spell by Trent Boult in Auckland [as an example] and had a look at the lengths"
"We believe that Amir bowls really well at the left-handers and there will be 3 of them in the top 4 for England"
"Amir has been unlucky at times if you look at the amounts of dropped catches"
"He is ready, fit, determined, strong excited so I just hope it goes really well for him"
"It's good that Shadab has put pressure on Yasir as it needed someone to put pressure on him"
"When we have Australia/New Zealand in Dubai and the ball turning square then having these 2 there will be very exciting"
"Faheem has some bit to go with his batting, we need to polish him a bit and he needs to work on his defense"
"Faheem is just a happy go lucky jovial guy and I am not sure he feels pressure"
"Outside the sub continent we cannot play 5 bowlers unless we have a seam bowler all-rounder which is why we have groomed him"
"Shadab's pace is 100% right at the moment, he has slowed his pace a hell of lot down"
"His pace is right for these conditions"
"What we want him to do is to have his variations a gear up instead of a gear down"
"When he is under pressure, he goes a little bit quicker"
"I am quite happy and I would like to keep on going with Pakistan as long as they will have me"
"It's one of the best dressing room environments I have ever been in"
"Our second choice wicket-keeper [Mohammad Rizwan] is here playing in the leagues so we have covered that" [regarding what happens if captain breaks a finger]
"With those runs and wickets comes a lot of accountability" regarding England's experience
