PAKISTAN star Ijaz Ahmed believes the country which Guernsey will face on Wednesday have the talent to reach the World Cup in future.

The man who played in four World Cups, winning one, was coach of the Pakistan Cricket Board Academy squad who lost the final game of a three-match series to Nepal this week, having won the first two.

‘They have talent. They can build a team, no doubt about it,’ Ijaz told NepalCricket.com. ‘The only problem is the facilities. If you could give them the proper environment and facilities, Nepal can go up. They have started the journey to [the World Cup]. If they get the facilities here, they can make it. And I am not just saying it, I mean it.’

He added that their most impressive attribute was team spirit. ‘Whenever they got an opportunity, they were all charged up. This is a very good sign for a team dreaming to go to the top level.’
