Playing Test cricket for one's country is the ultimate, but people are enjoying Twenty20 format because everything will be over within three hours.
Quote by -Inzamam-ul-Haq
The World Cup 2015 will be a stage for youngsters to make names for themselves and earn the respect and recognition of the cricket pundits. However, this can only be achieved if they don't get overawed by the situation, stay focused, stick to basics, respect the opponents, and follow match plans that will vary from match to match.
Quote by -Inzamam-ul-Haq
We were able to dominate the world in the '90s because the World Cup victory completely transformed us and changed our mindset.
Quote by -Inzamam-ul-Haq
The victory in the 1992 World Cup changed Pakistan cricket. A number of cricketers from that side turned out to be role models and inspiration for the younger generation.
Quote by -Inzamam-ul-Haq
In the single group format, where each team plays against the other, it gives a chance to the established outfits to make a comeback if they falter in the early games.
Quote by -Inzamam-ul-Haq
The 2005 Test tour to India was special, as I captained and we won at Bangalore, and it was a great tour for us, and even winning against India at Lahore in 2004 was a memorable day for me.
Quote by -Inzamam-ul-Haq
There is always great significance playing against India, and it is always special and a treat for people in both countries.
Quote by -Inzamam-ul-Haq
I don't mind positive criticism, but when it is negative and personal, it is quite hard.
Quote by -Inzamam-ul-Haq
It is when your team is losing that the captain has to keep the players together. He has to fight for them.
Quote by -Inzamam-ul-Haq
In Pakistan cricket, the real test comes when the team is not doing well. When it is winning, everything is fine.
Quote by -Inzamam-ul-Haq
The PCB needs to be clear in its stance on players who have been involved in corruption and tarnishing the image of the country. Because playing for the national team is the highest honor for any athlete.
Quote by -Inzamam-ul-Haq
World Cup 2003 was the worst phase in my career, but that is now behind me, and I am doing all-out efforts to get my place in the team back and further my career.
Quote by -Inzamam-ul-Haq
T20 is an unpredictable format, so you cannot rule out any team's chances.
Quote by -Inzamam-ul-Haq
We have to keep our feet on ground, stay humble, and collect all praise, well-wishes, and prayers because these will help us in future.
Quote by -Inzamam-ul-Haq
It is never easy for a professional cricketer, who has represented his country for 17 years, to forget the past and adopt a new lifestyle.
Quote by -Inzamam-ul-Haq
Trust yourself in tight situations, but you need to have a plan. You might fail once, twice, but you will get better at it.
Quote by -Inzamam-ul-Haq
I won't say I have won many matches, but I used to take care to just do my role.
Quote by -Inzamam-ul-Haq
All successful captains in the world have had long-term roles to make a difference.
Quote by -Inzamam-ul-Haq
Sometimes we need to make changes in the XI as per the conditions, and as per the player's form.
Quote by -Inzamam-ul-Haq
I coached Afghanistan for seven months. Out of those, I spent five and a half away from home.
Quote by -Inzamam-ul-Haq
I remember, before the 2003 World Cup, I worked extremely hard on my fitness. A great deal of training and dietary discipline. I believe I lost 19 kg. And 19 is the number of runs I scored in the entire tournament.
Quote by -Inzamam-ul-Haq
I do think the ICC has financially helped Afghanistan and Ireland a lot, but I think it's crucial that the ICC provides these Associate nations with quality coaches to work on their basics.
Quote by -Inzamam-ul-Haq
It is imperative that Afghanistan cricket does well. You cannot imagine how passionate Afghanistan's fans are and how they live and die by every result.
Quote by -Inzamam-ul-Haq
If someone says to me, 'You are a cheat, and Pakistan is doing wrong things,' my first priority is to my country.
Quote by -Inzamam-ul-Haq
I have never forced anyone to offer prayers in the team or to keep a beard.
Quote by -Inzamam-ul-Haq
In 2004, we were in a rebuilding phase after the disastrous 2003 World Cup campaign, and the batsmen, in particular, did not know where they would bat or what was their role. For example, in the one-dayers, we were playing Shahid Afridi on top of the order, but we didn't consider him for the Tests.
Quote by -Inzamam-ul-Haq
Even after defeating India, I still have the highest respect for them as opponents.
Quote by -Inzamam-ul-Haq
Off the field, both India and Pakistan enjoy a healthy relationship, and that's the way it should be - friends off the field and fierce competitors on it.
