While explaining that the Pakistani squad wants things to move ahead on as soon as possible basis Babar said, “We are missing practice but as soon as that starts everything else will subside as our focus will only be on cricket. Every second person [in the squad] is eager to get back to playing cricket.

“Playing for Pakistan is honour for everyone and we are not worried by the small problems that come along the way as these are part and parcel of everyone’s life. As a professional, we should know how to tackle these issues.”
