Moin seeks support to put Pak on winning track

“The results are causing problems but I am not afraid of failures and once we play more positively the problems will be over,” he said.

Pakistan were defeated 3-0 in the Test series in Australia last year and face another whitewash at home against Sri Lanka.

Wasim Akram relinquished the captaincy after Pakistan lost 2-0 in the finals of the one-day tri-series in Australia last month.

“The morale of the team is down but I will do my best to bring the team out from this lean patch and go back on winning track,” Moin vowed.

Moin said the lack of continuity in Pakistan cricket is affecting results.

“The Board is planning on the long term now and has given me the responsibilities. You need time for better results,” he said.

Pakistan saked four coaches last year and Intikhab Alam last week before bringing back former captain Javed Miandad.

“Miandad is back as coach and we will benefit from his experience,” Moin said.

About his decision to decline an offer to lead Pakistan before the Sri Lankan series, Moin said: “there came a communication gap at that time and I was not ready plus Saeed Anwar was there to lead and now no one is there to lead the team.

“I have accepted this as a challenge," he said.

Pakistan will feature in a tri-nation limited overs tournament in Sharjah from March 22 also involving India and South Africa.

“Our main target is the tour to the Caribbean where we have never won a series,” he said.
