"Results of at least two matches could have gone in our favour but the Australians showed more professionalism and discipline and we need to improve in these areas ourselves," Pakistan captain Younis Khan said.

"But I don't have a magic wand to make things happen quickly. Improvement in performance and consistency in the team will only come with time. And every player has to show and take responsibility for the team it is not just the captain who can do everything," he said.

"I need more support from my support team because I spent a lot of time with the players in this series. I know that I have to get runs to set the right example. I want to concentrate on my batting and captaincy," Younis said.

"I think the main thing he has tried hard and showed a better attitude. He is improving and I have always said he can still give a lot to Pakistan cricket." Younis said.

"You see lot of people are going to be taken by surprise by his pace and bounce," the former Test leg-spinner, Chief selector Abdul Qadir said.

"They were not discussed nor considered since the Pakistan Board had not given clearance to consider them," one selector said.
