Shoaib Malik at a presser today:

"I practice bowling a lot but it all depends on the situation and requirement of the team, but the team management and I consider myself as an all-rounder"

"Karachi is a big and economically important city for Pakistan, so I would like to congratulate Karachi, the PCB, Media and all others"

"This (cricket at home) is something our people and cricketers miss and in that way, PSL final was a big event in Karachi and another big event is going to happen (WI Series)"

"Hopefully this will be a message for all that our country is peaceful and teams can visit us"

"Our people really love and respect overseas cricketers as we have seen when they came to Pakistan"

"I've read their (overseas) cricketers messages and all of them seem to say that they are yet to see such hospitality in their whole careers"

"I have always been ready, especially since my comeback I have been bowling consistently; In PSL I would bowl whenever there was a situation where my bowling was needed"

"Regardless of fielding, bowling or batting at any position, my services are always available for the Pakistan team"

"Pakistan will have an advantage in home conditions but let me tell you that based upon my experience of playing in CPL, the Windies squad that has been announced is a very good one"

"All of these (WI) players have been performing well for the past few years"

"Windies have announced and sent a very good combination of players"

"We always look for big names in teams but the truth is that big names dont win you games, its the unity that gets you success"

"If we see overall the West Indies team is well balanced"

"If you had asked me that question 4-5 years ago, then I would have told you in detail but I am not in a position now in my career that I can say that as not much time is left (to end of my cricketing career)"

"What I am interested in is to try and groom young cricketers, infact in an easy situation a senior should not go in that batting position, instead a junior should go in there so that he can be groomed"

"What is needed as a senior is that your performance needs to be upto the mark and it should be consistent"

"The responsibility of the senior is not to just worry about his own performance but to also teach situation awareness to youngsters"

"Also as a senior it is important to teach youngsters about playing long innings in the nets as well and not just practice to play some scoring shots"
 
I really think he is under utilized as a bowler.
