Acknowledging the fight put up by the players in the face of controversial circumstances the players continuously found themselves in the past several months, Mohsin http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Khan-c71319 termed reaching the semi-finals as no less an achievement.

I think the players are ready for the match and the pressure that comes with an Indo-Pak match especially in a World Cup”, the former test player added.
