Inzamam fires warning to Windies
ISLAMABAD: After a successful tour of India, Inzamam-ul-Haq has expressed confidence in his side’s ability to beat West Indies in the Caribbean. Pakistan, who have never won a series there, last toured in 1999-2000, when West Indies won the Tests series 1-0. "We’ve never won a Test or one-day series in the West Indies and I’m fully confident that this time we’ll beat them," Inzamam was quoted as saying by AP. "The Caribbean tour will be another test of the young team and if I’m not wrong it’s going to be a tough venture, but I believe the players are fully prepared to take on a challenge bravely." Pakistan are scheduled to play two Tests and three one-day internationals this time. Out of the 19 Tests played between the two teams in the Caribbean, Pakistan have lost nine and won only three. However, Inzamam played down their dismal record against West Indies. "The way the team fought in the Test and one-day games in India it highly speaks its abilities and to do the same against the other teams and the fighting trend it showed will serve as a big motivation in the West Indies also." Speaking about the team selection, Inzamam stressed on the fact that his young players were performing up to the required level. "Their performance is gradually getting better and they’ll also be learning a lot in the West Indies which will help them prepare for the home series against England in October."
