Pakistan upbeat on India tour

AGENCE FRANCE PRESSE  
KARACHI, JAN 15: Pakistan today said it was confident of victory on this month's Indian tour, though the final decision on whether to go ahead with the sensitive trip was down to the government.

``We have been beating India in One-dayers and have a better away record,'' skipper Wasim Akram said, speaking after the line-up for the tour was named.

``So, I am sure we will win there.''

``I am fully satisfied with the team and the selectors took my consent and it is a unanimous selection.''

``It is true that we were down after losing two home series back to back, but we still have quality players who can win us the series,'' the Pakistan captain said, referring to victories here by Australia and Zimbabwe.

``We have three spinners because we think India will rely on their spinners, but I have full confidence in my players that they will spoil India's home record.''

Akram said he and coach Javed Miandad had planned extensively for the series.

``We had a camp of nearly 20 days and prepared extensively,taking into consideration the pitches in India and their team,'' he added.
