Rao Iftikhar has joined the squad and is in line to be considered for the match.

We will donate 75% of the earnings of the first match for the Pakistani earthquake victims and 25% will go to those affected by the quake in India.

That was our strategy. [We said] 'Let's go up the line early in the match.' We wanted to do that so that we could have them stay at home the rest of the match...Also, guys who don't play a lot together tend to break down at the net.

James Anderson has big match experience with England and we feel that his inclusion in the squad will give the captain and coach another bowling option in the event of Simon Jones being unfit to play.

The squad, which comprises an extra player as against the conventional 15, was announced only for the three-match Test series beginning Jan 14 in Lahore.

We just got into a shooting match with them. Somewhere along the line, we have to realize we can't take anybody lightly.
