Moin Khan Quotes:
“I expect Team Pakistan to perform to its potential in both the T20Is and ODIs.
“This is our final opportunity to test all our potential players before the ICC World Cup 2015.
“That is why we have tried to induct all our fit players in contention for a slot. This is also pretty much the last opportunity for the players to perform and cement their places in the World Cup squad
“Both the squads are well-balanced, with a decent blend of in-form batsmen and good all-rounders, with the bowling attack a potent mix of pace and spin combinations.
“Quite a few players have been included either after returning from injury or on the basis of current form.
“In the ODI squad, Younis Khan has been recalled for the ODI squad due to his sparkling form. Similarly, Sarfraz Ahmed is featuring in a T20I for the first time. Young and promising Haris Sohail is also part of both squads, while Sohaib Maqsood was not considered on fitness grounds.
“Among our pace bowlers, Wahab Riaz and Umar Gul are making comebacks from injury to make the pace attack more potent.”
