Q. Welcome to Perth, firstly. Obviously heartbreaking loss against India. What was the message after the game from Baba and the coaches?

IFTIKHAR AHMED: That's not an easy defeat to digest. They were disappointed. But the way the captain, the coach supported the whole squad, they were exceptional. And the message is clear that was the first game, now time to move forward. And we have some more games here.

Q. Are you excited about the pitch here in Perth? Obviously it's pretty fast and bouncy. I mean, Ralph, is he very excited to be bowling on this kind of pitch?

IFTIKHAR AHMED: There's bouncy tracks in Australia. We have to practise a lot for these bouncy fields. And he's a main strike bowler, and we're expecting him to do much.
