"Very excited just like any other Pakistani at the thought of the matches in Lahore" : Wasim Akram
Wasim Akram speaking on TV ahead of the Independence Cup:
"I am very very excited like any other Pakistani"
"Its heartening to see the manner in which GSL is being prepared and almost decorated for the games"
"When we used to play in any city in Pak, preparations would begin weeks before and the whole city would be involved in the excitement; Even here we are seeing that this happening"
"Hopefully, the Almighty will have mercy on us and everything will go according to plan"
"I have said this before, that hospitality is a part of our culture and we are very good at it"
"All the World XI players will have to be looked after (by all of us) and be given our affection and thank them to them for coming over"
"The Pakistan players know that only by playing against quality players can they improve themselves"
"We have just been crowned champions in ODIs and we have some good players coming to play against us so the series will be interesting"
"This series will be interesting and not easy for any of the teams"
Shoaib Akhtar:
"Look lets not get our hopes too high; this tour is just a stepping stone"
"However, this is a great achievement for Pakistan to have brought in all these players"
"Pakistan will have to prove that they are the winners of the CT"
"Pakistan will have advantage of home ground"
"Beating World XI will be a great morale booster for Pakistan"
"When we play out of Pakistan, the crowd will go silent when we take a wicket but at home its different"
"When I used to play in India, I used to enjoy silencing the crowds"
"I would enjoy making the crowd shout more when playing in Pakistan"
