Misbah-ul-Haq speaking to the press:
“When you look at our resources then you look at what you have. If you have experienced players who can perform at an adequate level then you use them. But sometimes you think you need young players for the future who can do well. Naseem Shah was the best fast-bowler in the QEA Trophy by far. So we took him. It’s not like we discarded some best bowler and brought him. In terms of pace, attitude, future, Naseem and Shaheen are standouts. However, what people are asking is for them to perform like Anderson and Broad. To get to that level will take them time and we shouldn’t confuse these things. According to their experience level, I think their performances are exceptional."
“We don’t throw in players in the team and then say they are learning so we can’t perform. Naseem is the best of the lot and looking for the future, we try and make the best decisions."
