“I want to appreciate people of Karachi. There were inconveniences and several security checks, but the people of Karachi endured it all to support cricket in Pakistan,” Sarfaraz said. Replying to a question, Sarfaraz said that it would be unfair to term the visiting team a weaker side. “We played better than them. It is not fair to call them a B side, and most of the players in the squad were here with experience of international cricket,” Sarfaraz said while expressing satisfaction over the performance of youngsters. “It is good that young players are coming in and performing. We gave opportunity to all the players so that we can strengthen our bench too,” the captain stated. Sarfraz brushed aside the debate that West Indies sent a second string team, saying that no one was asked to send a second string team. It was a team from West Indies and Pakistani players treated the team as such, he said. The Pakistan skipper, meanwhile, announced that he would donate his match fees from the third T20I to the ground staff of the National Stadium.
