"We wanted to take advantage of Mohammad Hafeez's form by playing him as an opener" : Sarfaraz Ahmed
"The Asia Cup is gone and it's in the past, we're not thinking about it. We're thinking about the Test series, the morale is high and we're in a different frame of mind so we hope we will do well insha'Allah"
"The 2014 series was a long time ago, the teams are different now and we have lost Younis and Misbah bhais, we have some new faces but we'll try our best to win this series"
"This Australian team has a few different players with a couple of debutants, but they have some players who have been regularly playing ODI cricket. It looks like a good team, their batting is a bit inexperienced but they have experience of playing Big Bash and otther leagues"
"We played against Lyon in 2014 but at the moment, he's a different bowler and has a lot of wickets in Asia. We have made plans regarding him in the batting meeting and hopefully we'll execute them"
"We have no issue about shaking hands before the match, we spoke about it before the presser. It's a very good sign and insha'Allah we will do it tomorrow"
"Everyone has input on the squad, I am happy with it. The team looks very balanced and I am hopeful of our good performance"
"The more Test cricket you play, the more you adjust to it but unfortunately, we haven't played much Test cricket recently. However, we have a block of 8 Tests coming up so hopefully the boys will get used to it and adjust to the long format"
"The batsmen will have to take responsibility here, in the past we've always made big runs here which backs up the bowlers. Our batsmen will have to convert 50s into big hundreds. Hopefully the hard work that we have done in training will pay off and make big runs which will give the bowlers something to bowl at"
"The SL series was my first Test series, this is now my 3rd series. In that one, we made a lot of costly errors but I have learnt from that and hopefully we will be able to take advantage of that and take the team forward. The first target is to perform well in these two Tests and to win the series"
"Yasir Shah was unfit during the England tour but he's been playing FC cricket regularly and has worked hard, he has bowled brilliantly in the nets during practice. He is our main bowler and I am hopeful that he will perform as he has done in the past and will win us matches. Hafeez bhai has performed well in domestic cricket so he was inducted in the team. We also wanted to take advantage of his form by playing him as an opener and he also fulfills the role of a fifth bowler which improves the team's balance. Hopefully he will carry over his form from domestic cricket and win us matches"
