"The victory against India in this tournament was the proudest moment of my life" : Mohammad Hafeez
Mohammad Hafeez press conference:
Positive effect of victory against India:
"Whenever you win a big game in a big tournament like this one then this really boosts the team's morale."
"I have played games against India at initial stages of many tournaments and in many instances we lost these games. I know the you face a lot of problems when you lose such games, because expectations are very high about such matches from the fans and you have the backing of the whole nation in this case"
"In the recent past when we have lost games against India then the consequences for that have not been good as it hurts at a mental level. However, as we have seen in the past, even after losing games to India we have still managed to lift ourselves up and made good comebacks in the tournaments"
"Our team needs to be praised to no end for the fact that we started this ICC T20 World Cup under difficult circumstances, but each individual in this squad responded well and with full energy and motivated and supported each other"
"In terms of this game that we won against India, I have to say that all of us including the Team management were up and ready for this game and that is why the performance was so good. For me, this was the proud moment of my life that I was part of this team that broke the jinx that India had on us in ICC tournaments"
"Overall it was an excellent performance and the whilst we had planned things well, when we executed those plans to perfection then it really boosted our morale. So if you see the body language of our team after that game - and it was also good during the game - was very special to see"
"I am hoping we will maintain this positive energy for the remainder of the tournament and be true to our goal which is to win this tournament"
Babar Azam's captaincy:
Babar Azam needs to be praised for his captaincy as he's earned it by performing well as a captain and as a player. He has been progressing as a captain for the last year & a half and he's changed the opinions of people with his performances"
His own future:
"Anyone who plays for Pakistan does so because he is expected to perform for the country and he is only in the side if he has performed well"
"I am a very emotional and sentimental human being, and such feelings increase when it comes to representing Pakistan"
"I just want to concentrate on this tournament and in every prayer that I offer, I ask The Almighty that He grant me my wish to become a part of an ICC tournament winning squad"
"My focus is on this tournament and have not thought about my future or made a decision about it because I dont want to divert my emotional energies to anything other than this tournament"
"I know that I will not be playing cricket forever but whatever cricket I am playing now, I am doing so by justifying my position through my performances. Its my aim to play my role in making sure our team is successful. When the tournament ends then I will think about whether I am going to continue my journey as a Pakistan player or not"
"My focus as of now is all about helping Pakistan win the ICC T20 World Cup"
