“It is sad West Indies is not there. That is the new rules ICC brought in (only top eight teams qualify). It is difficult to pinpoint one team (as favourite), especially because we are playing in England, and the conditions are going to be tricky.

“It’s a fast bowling place because of the conditions. Whoever can make the adjustment as quick as possible, utilise it well (will do well). And the weather is going to be hot and cold,” the explosive Jamaican batsman on the sidelines of launching a fashion brand -- attiitude -- on Monday.

“The longer version will give them more time as well… T20 cricket is so fast, so being able to make that adjustment in the longer format should be fantastic for them,” he said.

With the ICC Champions Trophy around the corner, the hype, as always, will largely focus on the India-Pakistan match. Every multi-nation tournament on the International Cricket Council calendar becomes an opportunity to see the two rivals in action and the flavour of all these tournaments depends almost solely on that match. This time too, the focus will be on the contest, scheduled for June 4 at Edgbaston in Birmingham. However, Pakistan team chief selector Inzamam-ul-Haq insists that it is not just about beating India.

"We are not going to England just to beat India but our prime target is to win the championship," Inzamam was quoted as saying by The Dawn newspaper.

The former India captain as at the helm of the things in the Pakistan team when they had beaten India at Edgbaston in 2004, and Inzamam believes his side can repeat the feat.

"We can win again," he said on Thursday.

Pakistan have completed a Test series win over the West Indies in the Caribbean and Inzamam believes that the victory was a big morale boost that would help Pakistan in performing well in the Champions Trophy.

India on the other hand still has players engrossed with the Indian Premier League (IPL), with players like Rohit Sharma, Umesh Yadav, Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Ajinkya Rahane still to see action in the last two matches.

So what else you expect a chief selector to say that we are here only for a joy trip or just to complete the quorum. Yes no doubt India is a far better side these days than Pakistan, a country which had almost zero cricket at home still doing wonders, that says it all.

Good luck guys, you are gonna need it.

Bowling department for India will be fine. Its the batting which is a worry.It will be good to see Ashwin back after a long break. A long season , with a lots of ODIs await him this time.

Why have been Dhawan and Dinesh Karthick picked ahead of players who have actually performed ?

Gautam Gambhir deserved a place.

 

[Super Falcon]

Shehzad is a useless player neither have technique not skill he plays lot of balls and get out

Just look in West indies tour getting three chances not getting enough runs is enough to show he is useless

Inzmam is not doing justification to skilled players

 

[Jackdaws]

Best of luck to Pakistan. Always a joy to watch Pakistani bowlers do their thing - just not against India. I distinctly remember the hostile spell of Riaz to Shane Watson in the WC Quarter-Final.
