Of course we missed his presence in the dressing room. But it was good that he underwent that (shoulder) operation early enough to return fully fit before the World Cup.

There are some cracks on it but otherwise it looks a good track.

I am looking forward to the series, it should be a good one. We had a very good tour of Pakistan last time and I enjoyed the country and enjoyed going there. Hope the same this time.

They (Pakistan) have a very good batting line-up. But our bowlers bowled very well and we took some very good catches. It was a determined team effort that fetched us this victory.

I wouldn't lay out my cards on the table now, to be honest it looks a very good wicket that might do a little bit initially for the bowlers.

The track was a good wicket to bat on and was a bit slow. It was a similar kind of wicket we might get in Tests as well,
