Misbah-ul-haq said

LAHORE: Pakistan cricket captain Misbah-ul-Haq said Friday he was impressed with new coach Dav Whatmore’s professionalism as he seeks to lift the talented but unpredictable team.
Whatmore, who took over last month on a two-year-contract, guided Pakistan to their second Asia Cup title in Bangladesh and is now training the squad for the tour of Sri Lanka in June-July.
“The experience with Whatmore is very good,” Misbah told media at Pakistan team’s fitness camp in Lahore.
“He is dealing professionally and every player is being assessed and the co-ordination is good.”
Pakistan plays two Twenty20, five one-day and three Tests in Sri Lanka before taking on Australia in a limited over series — also in Sri Lanka.
Misbah said Whatmore — who rose to fame after guiding Sri Lanka to the World Cup title in 1996 — is taking care of technical matters.
“Like a good coach whose job is to take care of the practice, how to prepare the team and what are the strengths and weaknesses of the rival team, he is taking care of all such things so it’s nice to work with him,” said Misbah.

 international cricket return in Pakistan

international return to Pakistan

Pakistan will host its first international matches since 2009 when Bangladesh play two matches in Lahore at the end of April.

The country has been off-limits since March 2009, when Sri Lankan cricketers and officials were attacked by gunmen.
Lahore will host a one-day international on 29 April and a Twenty20 match 24 hours later.
"The public of Pakistan have been deprived of cricket and we felt that we needed to support them," said Bangladesh official Mustafa Kamal.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board president added: "The reception we received when we toured Lahore and Karachi on our security visit was overwhelming."
During the 2009 attack on the Sri Lanka team six policemen and the team coach driver were killed, while seven cricketers and an assistant coach were injured.
In December, the Pakistan Cricket Board expressed confidence that international cricket would return to the country in 2012.
All of Pakistan's 27 Tests and 67 one-day internationals since the terror attacks have been played on foreign soil.
The UAE has served as Pakistan's temporary home, and played host to England earlier this year, while Lord's and Headingley were the venues for two Tests against Australia in 2010.
