Yasir Arafat's media talk ahead of Pakistan tour of New Zealand :
"Azam has been hit with the ball, but he is perfectly fine. He will come back for another batting round. There is no serious injury; these ups and downs, injuries, and niggles are a part of the game, but there is no major issue,"
"Haseebullah is a very exciting cricketer. I have been following him since he played Under-19 two years ago. Apart from him, Sahibzada Farhan has shown significant improvement,"
"Abbas Afridi has the potential to become a good all-rounder. I really like his attitude. In the past, we have seen that bowlers tend to focus only on their bowling. It is essential for a bowler to work on their batting as well. I have observed that Abbas, in the nets, is practicing his batting,"
