Veteran all-rounder Abdul Razzaq also expressed disappointment at missing out on the match against India.
"The rains ruined everything. We were all looking to play India. But now we must just look ahead and start preparing for other things.
"These things happen and one can't do anything about it. But playing India at such neutral venues is not a bad idea at all," Razzaq said.
The Pakistani players would now resume training at camps in Quetta and Karachi before playing in the inaugural Twenty20 World championship in South Africa in September.
"We have around two months without any international cricket and it is an ideal time for us to train hard and work on our fitness and also get acclimatised with our new coach whoever he is," Malik said.
"After the Twenty20 World championship, we face three very tough series against South Africa, India and Australia and we must start preparing for them seriously. For me as a captain it is a big challenge leading the side in such big Test series," he said. |
