"What happened in Lord's is past now and we are looking forward to the Leed's match now"
"Everybody knows that England are a good side, infact one of the best, and they weill come hard at us but we are ready for the challenge"
When asked does he sense a weakness in the England side, laughs "I don't want to say anything like that; they are a very good side but we are doing [our preparations] and lets see what happens"
"My length in the past few games was very short and I had been workiong with Azhar Mahmood to fix that and pitch it further"
"Because when the ball is swinging, you only get wickets from further down [in terms of pitching the ball]"
"When you are tired, then its a little difficult to push the length up a bit"
"But as a professional, you need to be aware of demands of all formats of cricket"
"Just because I bowled a bit better in one or 2 games doesn't mean I have fixed the issue and I am still working to make things better"
"When you win the atmosphere in the dressing room automatically improves"
"The best thing is that our management has kept the players very relaxed and they do enjoy themselves"
"We may be enjoying ourselves now but the real enjoyment will come when we win the series"
"The best wicket I took in the Lord's Test was Jonny Bairstow's one"
"It was a delivery that I would like to bowl to right-handers"
"My personality is such that whatever has happened has happened" [in reply to his last performance at Leeds where he took 8 (7) wickets
"Its a different team and different cricket and system now as compared to 8 years ago"
"The Lord's victory will give us motivation as we walk onto the field in the 2nd Test but our aim is to do better than what we did at Lord's"
"The management have told us not to relax but to enjoy the Lord's victory and our attiude and confidence should be double to what it was in the previous game"
"The credit goes to all bowlers like M Abbas, Hasan Ali, Faheem; Also the credit goes to Azahr Mahmood who is telling us to pitch the ball up"
"That [pitch the ball up] was the main difference at Lord's and we will be looking to do the same here [Leeds]"
"That was a good wicket [Bairstow] as I feel that was the match-turning wicket"
"The ball was reversing a bit at that time and I was trying to pitch the ball up"
"Tests are tough games to win so to win against one of the top teams of the world in England at the home of cricket was a big achievement"
"[Winning the Test series] will be the best memory of my life"
"The PCB took a good step to use the Dukes ball in domestic cricket"
"Even our training camp was done using the Dukes ball as it is always helpful to use the ball that will be used in the series"
