Islamabad: Former Pakistani wicket keeper Moin Khan says that the current Pakistani team has what it takes to be the champions in the 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup,.

Khan, who was a part of the World Cup winning team of 1992, has his hopes pinned on the big event returning to Australia and New Zealand where they had triumphed in the Cup 22 years earlier, a media report said.

Referring to the Imran Khan-led World Cup winning team, which was famously known as the “Cornered Tigers” as they fought back extremely hard to beat England in the finals after a dismal start to the tourney, he said the players should know what their responsibilities are, in order to give their 100 percent.

“I believe this ODI team does have the ‘Cornered Tigers’ spirit and they have shown it. Let me also tell you that this kind of attitude shows up when team members start thinking carefully as to what their responsibility is and what people expect from them. When you start thinking like this, then you put in your hundred percent,” said Khan as quoted by The Nation daily.

Khan also believed that the cornered tigers spirit would come about depending on how dearly one wanted to succeed.

“You have to sacrifice a lot and you have to make sure that you are there for each member of your team; in the good and bad times to appreciate and encourage them. The Cornered Tigers spirit will only come about when you ask yourself if you really want success or not. Once you make that decision, then you move ahead and put all distractions to the side; even your own family comes second,” he said.
