"Want to play attacking cricket, take 20 wickets, that’s why we're going with 5 bowlers" : Azhar Ali
Azhar Ali speaking after the Leicestershire match:
"We came and we got some practice games and we had a test match against Ireland, which was a very good game also"
"I think we had very good preparation and we are hoping we can transfer that good preparation into the big games against England"
"Amir is fine and he bowled even with an injury and he bowled very well against Ireland. In the last couple of days he’s doing his rehab and also he was doing his bowling, he’s quite comfortable"
[on Sarfaraz going off the field] “Yeah, he’s fine, he's had a lot of games. He's had some time off to complete his training”
"No, I will not definitely not keep wicket, I am sure he (Sarfaraz) will be fine"
"Time at the crease is always very important, I am happy that I have some spend some time in the middle in this game"
"It's good to have some rhythm going and before a big game it's good to feel the ball on the bat"
"Well, I have a responsibility obviously but it's a team game. Everybody needs to chip in and as a senior player, I need to ensure that I play my part. And inshAllah I will do whatever I can, to do my best to build a platform to help our bowlers."
"I think good bowlers will always make you work and we have good bowlers"
“It's early summer, the weather is improving and the wickets will get better and the conditions will suit the batsmen also. It’s never easy to play in England. Whenever you come it's always challenging and obviously English bowling attack is good as well and we are respectful of that”
"We know the challenge ahead and we are prepared to do our best. It’s a big opportunity for everyone, especially for the youngsters, if they do well, things will get easier"
[Asked if side will be similar to Irish match] "That’s the way we are thinking right now, we want to play attacking cricket and want to take 20 wickets and that’s why we are going with 5 bowlers so hopefully, this side will do well for us"
