Lahore(May18, 2017): Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief selector Inzamam-ul-Haq has insisted that Pakistan’s target in the upcoming Champions Trophy is not only to thrash India but to win the coveted trophy.
While talking to media as a chief guest at the annual cricket match of the Muslim Gymkhana at the LCCA ground, he said that the Men in Green will lock horns with India in their first match of the Champions Trophy on June 4 in Birmingham, England. “We are not going to England just to beat India but our prime target is to win the championship”. Inzamam clarified.
Other cricketers produced by the Gymkhana who had represented Pakistan like Ahmed Shehzad, Kamran Akmal and Taufiq Umar were also present on the occasion.
The chief selector also maintained that his team would leave no stones unturned and would try hard to win every match of the tournament.
The Indian cricket team, who won the coveted title back in 2013, couldn’t have found a better opponent than arch-rivals Pakistan to begin their title defence in England and Wales.
The Virat Kohli-led side, who are the defending champions, will be the more confident side going into this tournament, which begins from June 1.
