Misbah ul-Haq expects 'England to be prepared' ahead of series

Tuesday, October 13 2015 by SNTV
  • Misbah-ul-Haq looks ahead to Pakistan's first Test with England, and admits that bowler Yasir Shah would be a huge loss should he succumb to his back injury.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Misbah-ul-Haq, Pakistan cricket captain (on beating England 3-0 in 2012 series):

    "I think that they will be more prepared this time. They know what mistakes they made previously when they came here - and obviously they have been working on that and are a bit more prepared. So, we need to also focus and we need to improve our performance. We just can't take it easy like that. We have beaten them 3-0 (won't make it) easy and we have to be up there to play good cricket against them."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Misbah-ul-Haq, Pakistan cricket captain (on England):

    "They have already said that they are not experienced enough but their performances are good. Moeen (Ali) is really doing good against teams that, some of the teams that spin really well. Against India his performance was a really good one so you just can't take it easy. You really need to give respect to the bowlers and on the day you have to be focused and play well against them. You can't just play with the fact that they are inexperienced and take them easy. Sometimes that can really hurt you so we are not going with that thought. We know that they are good bowlers so we have to respect them and just treat them accordingly in the situations."
