Talking about the eight-day camp, team manager said that the boys have really worked hard in the camp and are mentally and physically prepared to take on New Zealand in their backyard
“Last year, we played our home series in New Zealand and this time going there to play the away series, but I’m really hopeful that we would be able to defeat them this time”, Inti said.

“Coach Waqar Younis has devised a World Cup plan and we are working under that plan and would take this series very seriously as this is our last chance to prepare for the huge event”, he added.
He further elaborated that if the players concentrated on their game then there is no reason why Pakistan defeat New Zealand easily in their country.
“I’m seriously expecting from our boys to step up their game in New Zealand as they have got some confidence by drawing the test series against South Africans in the UAE last month”, Intikhab Alam said.
“Those players who come up to the confidence level of the team management are in the side and if they do play up to their skills level then they can prove a tough opposition to Black Caps”, he noted.
When asked about the world cup strategy, Intikhab Alam said that plans are afoot to display a great performance in the top cricketing event and coach and captain would further build up the combination for the world cup matches.
