We need to build Pakistan team for 2019 World Cup: Inzamam-ul-Haq

Pakistan’s former captain and chief selector, Inzamam-ul-Haq said on Friday it was time for the selectors to start thinking and building a team for the 2019 World Cup.

“The World Cup is on our mind and we have to see how many of the available players can be in the national team when the tournament is held in 2019,” he told a press conference in Lahore.

He, however, ruled out any drastic changes in the team following the six successive Test



defeats in Sharjah, New Zealand and Australia besides poor performances in one-day cricket which has seen Pakistan drubbed 1-4 in England and Australia and is currently languishing at number eight in world rankings.

“Obviously when the team does not perform it makes everyone sad including our former players. But it does not mean we chop and change because of this. Our main task is to keep the next World Cup in mind,” he said.
