KARACHI: Captain Muhammad Imran was elated with his forwards’ firepower as they blasted five goals in Pakistan’s 5-3 win over fighting Chinese team in the second test. 

“Our forwards were at their best and showed their true potential,” Imran said. “The coming Azlan Shah Cup and then long European trip and appearance in four-nation event in England will prepare us well for the Olympics,” said full-back Muhammad Imran.

He said China really came hard and gained a 2-0 lead, but “thanks to our forwards Pakistan came from behind to win”. Responding to a question about replacing Salman Akhtar with young goalkeeper Imran Shah, he said they want to try different combinations to pick the best lot for London Olympics.
