I explained that he generates his speed from his longer run. He also practiced the use of the crease for both forms of cricket. The change in the captaincy also disturbed the team. But Shoaib does look quite injury prone esp. Well I feel that he is a genuine fast bowler with the right physique and if he carries on with tough physical training then I think he will not face injury problems.

There are many grounds there and an international standard stadium there has recently been built. This has been discussed with the sports minister to develop sports and I also promised I would personally come to coach the cricketers and witness some matches there in the near future. Due to the early part of the summer season in england which normally is a wettish season and after winter too, the pitches are not fully dry in May. Since the WC99 matches are in early May and Pak is playing in the northern half of the country, there the pitches will be more suitable for seamers. But Pak may take another spinner, where I differ.
