LAHORE - Pakistan cricket team would give tough time to New Zealand and their winning chances are brighter, said Intikhab Alam on Wednesday. Talking to mediamen, Pakistan cricket team coach Intikhab Alam said: 'Physical fitness is a key to success for the national team during the camp which began here at the Gaddafi Stadium on Wednesday.' Intikhab said that there was a lot of talent in our country and the players had great ability to upset any team but the major problem with them was physical fitness. There was a great need to make them physically fit only then they would be able to beat the best teams of the world. He said New Zealand series was very important for Pakistan team as the team will return home on February 5 and then would leave for Bangladesh to play World Cup on February 11. 'The team have no time to practice for World Cup so the practice for New Zealand series would also be considered as preparation for World Cup. And the team which will be finalised for the New Zealand series will also finalised for World Cup,' said Pakistan coach. Intikhab also said that three tainted players Salman Butt, Muhammad Asif and Muhammad Amir would not be available for World Cup. Talking about World Cup advertisement, he said that no player has asked him for advertisement and if someone would ask, he would not be allowed to take part. 'The camp is more important than any other work. So for the camp, they have to leave any other activity and fully concentrate on camp and physical fitness which will help them to win not only New Zealand series but also World Cup,' Alam said. All the players have reported at the camp in time. Pakistan former captain Javed Miandad also joined the camp as batting and fielding consultant. He also gave tips to Pakistan skipper Shahid Afridi and advised him to be cool while batting and try to remain on crease as much time as he can. Pakistan Manager Intikhab Alam believed that fitness and fielding are key areas to be improved before and during the Pakistan tour to New Zealand. What we have witnessed in fielding and fitness during the last series against South Africa, we would like to focus on those areas, he said. He said lessons were learnt from the fitness problems with Muhammad Yousuf and Wahab Riaz in UAE. He added that coach Waqar Younis and coaching staff was working hard on these things. We did well in batting and bowling department against South Africa but must improve in fielding and fitness, he said and added: We have made it bench mark. He said Pakistan team will fly to Auckland en-route Hong Kong from Karachi on December 18 on Cathy Pacific Flight. Commenting on tracks in New Zealand, he dispelled the impressions that they will be bouncy. There will be seam and swing on New Zealand pitches, he said. He described the recent series against South Africa in United Arab Emirates (UAE) as great success. It was very heartening that the Pakistan team put up a fighting show against formidable South African placed second in the ICC Test ranking. Overall, it was an impressive show by the boys, Intikhab said. He said left arm spinner Abdur Rehman put up a good show against Proteas and he led spin attack. He said off-spinner Saeed Ajmal was not very successful against South Africa and it will be good opportunity for him to prove his worth in New Zealand.
