“It will be our effort to make Pakistan the number one team in all formats of the game.”

“We need to keep improving all the time.”

“I don't have enough words to praise Fakhar Zaman, Hasan Ali and Shadab Khan.”

“Winning and losing is part of the game and it's not that we are the first team to have lost a match; previous teams also have faced defeats.”

“Everyone's target is to improve Pakistan's cricket.”

“Test cricket is a different format, you have to adjust to five-day cricket.”

“It is easy to claim that we will score 450 or 500 runs but to achieve this target an entire process is required.”

“Our fans are emotional and these same people lift us when we win. But if they feel sad on a defeat we also feel the same way. We feel it much more because we are playing for Pakistan.”

“When you are captain in any format, it definitely brings a lot of pressure on you and this is why its a big responsibility.”

“If I deviate from my nature, it's possible that my game will be affected.”

“I think it's good to be unpredictable.”

“When you lose, a lot of things that should stay in the dressing room get leaked.”

“As a captain, I don't have long-term targets in my mind as it is better to go with short targets.”

“I shout and scream at my players - everything is right in front of you.”

“My nature cannot be changed.”

“Moin Bhai has played a significant role in my career and I am thankful to him for where I am today.”

“The more you play Test cricket, you get to mature as Test player.”

“It has been an honour to lead Pakistan at the highest level.”

“It is important to let go the past.”

“All professional teams put the past behind and look forward.”
