Karachi, August 29: Coach Intikhab Alam restrained from predicting Pakistan’s prospect in the ICC Champions Trophy, but admitted that India and Australia are going to be the biggest threats for Younis Khan’s men.
“I would not like to make any claim or prediction because there is nothing much to separate the eight teams taking part in the tournament,” Alam said today.
“I can say this much we are perfectly capable of winning the title like we did the Twenty20 World Cup in England. But our first priority should simply be to focus on winning group matches and qualifying for the semi-final,” he said.
Alam, who is also a former cricketer, pointed out that Pakistan has been handed a tough pool in the eight-nation tournament commencing in South Africa from September 22.
“India has a dangerous ODI side with a winning mentality and they have quality players as well.
