'Self-belief will be key' in World Cup for Pakistan: Moin Khan

KARACHI: Former captain of the Pakistan cricket team Moin Khan on Friday said that self-belief would be the key for the national team in the upcoming World Cup scheduled to start May 30.

Speaking to Geo.tv, Khan expressed confidence in the Pakistani team and said the players had enough talent to produce good results in the mega sports event.

“I will say that the players will have to be fearless,” he said. “Self-belief will be the key … if they start every match with the belief that they can do win it, then they will surely do it.

"Keep the morale high in every game,” Khan added.
