Over the years I have been watching Pakistan when playing against them or with them in county cricket. And they have been brilliant bowlers and batsmen and great individuals.
I am the sole example of what the IRCA has done for Pakistan cricket.
I have played 20 years of international cricket for Pakistan and not the PCB.
The backing I have received form the PCB is second to none. They have allowed me to do what I want to do for the best. I really think that we are on the right track. I am loving this Pakistan job.
I think Pakistan was always a destination where it was hard to come and win. I was the coach of the South African team which came here in 2007. We won the Test and one-day series and that was a massive win and achievement because not many sides had come and won in Pakistan.
I have been to Pakistan many times and enjoyed every visit and it breaks my heart to see teams not playing in that country.
I don't have a magic wand, and there is a lot we need to do right in Pakistan cricket to build a strong team.
Pakistan vs. India is always an exciting match, as everyone has eyes on this game.
The future of Indo-Pak cricket will depend on how the peace process goes.
I am so passionate about Pakistan cricket that I would never ever put myself in a position where there will be a conflict of interest.
I have high expectations from Babar Azam and Imam-ul Haq.
In Pakistan cricket, the real test comes when the team is not doing well. When it is winning, everything is fine.
Pakistan fans are crazy about cricket.
The aim is to be the best for Pakistan across all formats.
I have to say that I have developed a real passion for Pakistan cricket.
I'm going to give international cricket one more crack. The Pakistan job seems like a perfect fit.
As chief selector, I did my best to pick new talent and give them proper opportunities, as they are the future of Pakistan cricket.
I did my wholehearted effort to lift Pakistan cricket.
That unpredictability tag always sort of hangs around the Pakistan team, but that makes us very exciting as well.
We are trying to create a culture of excellence. To create that culture has been tough. It hasn't been there in Pakistan cricket for a while - whether that is cultural or a product of the environment, I am not sure.
Pakistan is a very emotional, cricket-loving nation and what Pakistan need is a street-fighter-type in charge of the team.
I have had a fulfilling career for Pakistan, although our poor performance in the 2007 World Cup would remain the lowest point of my career.
I was telling somebody the other day that I have had five semi-finals with South Africa and never got to a final. I got to one final with Pakistan and eventually got a medal!
It has been an honour to represent Pakistan in the pinnacle and traditional format of the game. I, however, have decided to move away from the longer version so I can concentrate on white ball cricket.
PCB (Pakistan Cricket Board) is doing an unbelievable job in trying to resurrect international cricket. I just hope the World XI tour goes ahead and that will almost be the curtain raiser to, hopefully, get some international cricket back.
