"Pakistan can win Champs Trophy"

"The problem with the Pakistan team has always been that they tend to play as individuals but whenever they combine and play as a team they can beat any side in the world or win any major event in the world," former skipper Javed Miandad said.

"If we can play with the same spirit and coordination that we showed in the T20 World Cup there is no reason why we can't repeat the same success in the Champions Trophy," said Miandad.

"We have god gifted talent in the country and we have some immensely talented performers. The only thing is that they click when they play as a team and not as individuals," he added.

"But we have an excellent pace attack and some good spinners and if the batsmen back them we can win this Champions Trophy," he said.

"But it is the decision of the board what they decide. If my task is to work with the players only in the training camp at home then I will do my best to help the players and pass on my experience to them," he added.

"Because once your basic is strong and competitive you will always produce players with the capability of performing at the international level. We need to improve our domestic structure," he said.

"I don't think any one team has a big edge over other sides in this Champions Trophy. Specially after India's poor show in the T20 World Cup and Australia's recent Ashes series loss. It is going to be a very open tournament," he said.
