"We have high hopes of performing well in this series with an inexperienced side" : Sarfaraz Ahmed
Sarfaraz Ahmed at a presser today:
"As we all know conditions in England are always tough"
"Compared to last time (2016) we are starting a little early so it will be different this time"
"We may not have the 2 experienced players (Misbah & YK) and this team is inexperienced but we are doing our best to make sure we give confidence to all of them"
"We have 2 practice games in England we hope that they will adjust to those conditions"
"Its always the intention to select the best squad, in that sometimes a few players are not selected, others are not selected"
"Whenever the team is selected, the advice of 4 selectors, Captain and Coach is included"
"The squad has been selected based on everyone's advice and input"
"There is always difference in opinion when a squad is selected but this is not true that there is someone who is against one player or another"
"We have high hopes of performing well in this series as the young players wish to give their best on a big platform like this"
"'Its not the case that we called people for the camp just so we dont select them"
"We had a look at all the players in nets and our intention is to pick players with good potential"
"If I could, would have taken all 25 players in my final squad"
"Fawad Alam last played a Test in 2009 but we also have other seasoned players who have been performing well"
"If Yasir Shah was available. we would have taken him but in his absence, we tried out 4 spinners and Shadab was our best option"
"He is a leg-spinner and his googly is good which is why we preferred Shadab"
"Conditions will be cold in England and there is a possibility that we don't play a specialist spinner and depend on non-specialist option such as Haris Sohail or Asad Shafiq"
"There is no issue with Fawad Alam's technique"
"All players called for the camp are good and if they dont play today, they will play tomorrow"
"Ireland's team is a good team as they will be playing on their homeground; the Irish players we have seen are seasoned county professionals and hopefully this will be a competitive game"
"Our target is that if we bat first and score more than 300 then our bowling has enough ability to take control of the game"
"Yes we are going to Wagah border as we will get some inspiration for this important tour by watching the parade etc"
