I am very optimistic Pakistan can win the World Cup : Mushtaq Ahmed Quotes from Pakistans bowling coach, Mushtaq Ahmed, who spoke to the media Leg-spinners have always been successful in Australia I have played for Pakistan in Australia and was very successful myself I am sure Shahid Afridi and Yasir Shah will make a difference for Pakistan Unfortunately, Saeed Ajmal and Mohammad Hafeez got suspended from bowling and we were left in a bit of a quandary because of it We have to trust our resources and hope for the best As far as playing Shahid Afridi and Yasir Shah in the same XI is concerned, it depends on the conditions In 1992, Iqbal Sikandar and I played selective games and at time, we both played together as well These policies are set during the tour and not before it I am very optimistic Pakistan can win the World Cup This is the best possible lot and we got to believe in the players We were relying on Saeed Ajmal and it was very difficult to set a team combination without him Whenever Saeed comes for practice, he stresses on the importance of team work rather than individual efforts We will have to play as one unit and every player has to play his role There is bounce in the Australian wickets and it suits leg-spinners We are hopeful Mohammad Hafeez will be ready for the World Cup as a bowler He is working very hard and we are optimistic The match against India is very important as its our first match and we need to start well Inshallah, we will defeat India and play well in the rest of the matches Haris Sohail has improved as a bowler and he has a very good temperament We are lacking in terms of preparation, but its not an excuse We still have time and we will do our best to go fully prepared I request the public to pray for us just like you did during the 1992 World Cup Shahzaib Ahmed and Raza Hasan are very fine bowlers and Yasir Shah is equally good Zafar Gohar is another one and there are a few more spinners, who have potential to do well in future
