Ramiz appreciated the amazing fighting spirit shown by the team and stated that the entire squad should be proud of the character they have shown in making a comeback in the mega-event.
The 60-year-old also showered praises on the national team management, consisting of Saqlain Mushtaq, Mohammad Yousuf, Matthew Hayden, and Shaun Tait, for keeping the morale of the team high despite a woeful start to the tournament.
The former captain advised the team to keep up their winning momentum and seize the moment by bringing back the World Cup trophy. Ramiz said that the players should not worry about the occasion and keep their belief in their own abilities when heading out to the field on the day of the final.
Ramiz advised the players to not pay much heed to outside noise and keep playing their own game.

He stated that the then captain, Imran Khan, had advised them to enjoy the final as such moments are rare in a sportsperson’s career.
He said that this was an opportunity for the players to play their best cricket and enjoy the moment alongside their teammates. He concluded by wishing the team the best of luck for the final.
