We want to come out as winners. We did not have enough time to put together a camp before the World Cup because we had been playing for too long continuously. We wanted to give the players a break so they come back refreshed and with the hunger to win. You play well when you have that hunger.\u201d<br \/>\nAcknowledging the honor of representing Pakistan at the World Cup, even though they haven\u2019t played in India previously, the 28-year-old conveyed that the team isn\u2019t burdened by excessive pressure.<br \/>\n\u201cAll of us are proud of travelling for the World Cup. Although we have not played in India before, we are not taking too much pressure. We have done our research and we have heard the conditions are similar to how they play out in other Asian countries. It is quite an honour for me to travel as the captain this time around, I hope we come back with a trophy this time,\u201d he concluded<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Babar was asked about whether they are envisioning finishing in the top-four of the mega-event Islamabad Pakistan captain, Babar Azam, set the tone for his team\u2019s ambitions, making it clear that their goal is to secure victory in the 2023 World Cup and not settle for a top-four finish.
