'Pakistan's international cricket return important'

  • Intro:

    Reaction after Waqar Younis' Pakistan record a five-wicket win over Elton Chigumbura's Zimbabwe in Lahore; the South Asian state's first home international fixture since a terror attack in 2009.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE (Urdu): Waqar Younis, head coach, Pakistan cricket team

    "Of course it is a big achievement by the Pakistan Cricket Board and the Pakistani government that an international team came to Pakistan. It is a very important moment and the win was the icing on the cake. It is a good achievement and it felt nice. It felt really different to play in front of our home crowd."

    SOUNDBITE (Urdu): Waqar Younis, head coach, Pakistan cricket team

    "We'll be discussing in the morning how we can control our emotions. The tight security at the Gaddafi Stadium and the welcome we received from the crowd made it hard to play with a clear mind but hats off to Mukhtar Ahmed and Ahmed Shehzad. Both of them played a match-winning partnership of 142 runs."

    SOUNDBITE (English): Elton Chigumbura, captain, Zimbabwe cricket team

    "It is a good wicket to bat on, the runs that we scored, thought it was a good score, like I said. The first six overs where we did not bat well that's why I think we lost the game."

    SOUNDBITE (English): Elton Chigumbura, captain, Zimbabwe cricket team

    "Yes, definitely. I think there are a lot of positives that we can take for our team. Obviously we have to do one or two things when it comes to Pakistan openers, which made a big difference."
