National team to seek Imran Khan's advice for World Cup 2015: Misbahul Haq
Team captain vows to make strong comeback in biggest cricket event
LAHORE:
One Day International and Test match captain Misbahul Haq said on Wednesday that the national team would seek Imran's advice before leaving for the World Cup, scheduled to take place next year in Australia and New Zealand from February 14 to March 29.
Speaking during a presentation ceremony of the trophy for World Cup 2015 at the Minar-e-Pakistan ground in Lahore, Haq said he meets former cricketing giant Imran often and that the superstar guides him well.
The trophy will travel to 12 countries over a period of four months before reaching Melbourne, Australia.
The team captain said that Pakistan have given surprises to many teams in the past and have won many matches even though the team no longer has players like Imran, Wasim Akram, Aqib Javed, Javed Miandad and Mushtaq Ahmed.
"In the last series, the team's performance was not good and we have to bring our performance back on track," he added.
"We will try to make a strong comeback in the World Cup," Haq said about his squad which will play its opening match against traditional rival and defending champion India in Adelaide on February 15.
