"There's no doubt that the Pakistan side has the ability to become World Champions" : Inzamam-ul-Haq
Inzamam-ul-Haq speaking on TV
"I have played 5 World Cups but the 1992 edition is most memorable, firstly because we won the tournament, but secondly because the experience I gained in that tournament was different from all other World Cups that I played in"
"At the start of your career, you can have lack of self-belief but that is where the captain's role comes into play"
"Imran Khan never let me think less of myself even though I wasnt scoring that well at start of the World Cup"
"In every game he would raise my confidence by saying that I was Pakistan's main player and I had to score big"
"What I say to my players is simply that out of a population of 22 crore people, 11 players are chosen so 1 player out of 2 crores so assume that you are good"
"There's no doubt that there is extra pressure on players in any India v Pakistan match, but I will tell our players to not stay awake all night but get some sleep so that they can perform better in the morning"
"When we meet people, they say forget the World Cup, if we win against India then that's our World Cup done"
"I have been playing cricket since my childhood so to play the game is easy for me"
"Even now I feel like putting on pads and take my turn to bat"
"Pakistan has so many good players that it is impossible to bring all of them into a squad of 15"
"Its frustrating as a Selector to be sitting outside the field and feeling helpless which is tough for a cricketer like me to handle"
"Virat Kohli plays his cricket with aggression, Javed Miandad used to tease the bowlers and felt good about it and then could score runs that way"
"What Imam-ul-Haq did with point finger to lips (after scoring 100) was not appropriate"
Question about Hasnain being taken too early:
"A side should have a surprise package; Some people said to me look Abid Ali has just played 2 games or Hasnain has played 4 games or so; I thought about something from 1992 when I had played just 6-7 internationals"
"We have Hasan Ali, Shaheen, Faheem and Junaid who are similar type of pace bowlers; In the middle of these, if we can get in a bowler with extra pace, then he could make a difference"
"We have given Amir a chance as he is a quality bowler and if he does well on the tour of England then we can consider him for the World Cup but when some people say that he is a senior bowler and deserves a place then that is difficult to accept as performance is an important criteria for selection"
"There is no doubt that the Pakistan side has the ability to become World Champions again"
"Our players should take comfort from the fact that many people are considering Pakistan to be contenders for the last 4 teams"
