Malik focuses on India after West Indies rout
ABU DHABI: Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik said Monday that hard work was needed ahead of next year’’s high-profile series against archrivals India, despite his team’’s 3-0 whitewash of the West Indies.Malik led Pakistan to a clean-sweep of the West Indies here on Sunday, a victory he believed will lift the morale of the team for the January-February series against India, who recently completed a 2-0 victory in a Test series against world champions Australia.”We need to work hard for the series against India and I am sure after this win with our morale high, we will put our best efforts in the next series,” Malik said.India is due to play an exhibition match, three Tests, five one-day matches and a Twenty20 international on their tour of Pakistan.However the tour may be relocated to neutral venues in the wake of increased security fears in Pakistan.Malik praised his Indian counterpart Mahendra Singh Dhoni who took over the Test captaincy from the now retired Anil Kumble.”Dhoni is an excellent captain and under him India is a very strong side, but we have two months to get ready for India and I am sure that the boys will do their best and the team management (will) plan well for that series,” said Pakistan cricket team skipper.He said Pakistan must continue the commitment and the team effort they showed against the West Indies in the three-match series.”When we came here to play the West Indies we had thought about commitment and team effort and I am pleased that the boys put up their best,” he said.Pakistan beat the West Indies by 31 runs in the third and final match here on Sunday.
