    "editor1": "<p>24th August (CRICKETNMORE) - After an enthralling test series between hosts England and Pakistan, the two teams are ready for the five match ODI series.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ahead of the first ODI, Pakistan skipper Azhar Ali seemed pretty optimistic and mentioned that confidence was the key going into the ODI series.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&ldquo;Confidence is very high and belief is there, obviously coming in from the Test series, we had a very good couple of months here. We take that confidence into the one-day internationals as well,&rdquo; Ali said. &ldquo;It is a massive boost and a proud moment for Pakistan cricket and the whole nation is very happy about it, as players the team is really happy about it. It&rsquo;s definitely a good thing for us, our one-day ranking is not great right now but we will take the opportunity the way the team is performing, hopefully, we can convert it into ODIs as well,&rdquo; he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Also check <span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif;\"><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/pakistan-vs-england-odi-series-schedule--18714\"><span style=\"color:#B22222;\">England vs Pakistan 2016 ODI Series Schedule<\/span><\/a><\/em><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 20.8px;\">About his own batting form<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;When you play international cricket, pressure is always there,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve had a few starts in recent months but I didn&rsquo;t convert into big scores so I will focus on that. As a batsman, I need to score some big runs.&rdquo;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>On being No.1 Test Team<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>It&rsquo;s a big achievement, for the nation and for the players,&rdquo; Ali said. &ldquo;People in Pakistan they don&rsquo;t see their stars playing in front of them, there&rsquo;s a lack of interest sometimes. The kids really want to see the players they look up to but they don&rsquo;t see it in front of them, they just watch the TV. For the players also, they have been away all the time, they can&rsquo;t spend much time with their families, also.&rdquo;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>Saurabh Sharma<\/p>\r\n",
