There is no security issue here and the series will be interesting,” said Aguilleira. Before their departure from Dubai, she Aguilleira: “We have a motto, two words our coach has given us: adapt and overcome. That is what we are trying to do. It is really difficult adapting in such quick time, but we are professional cricketers and we are willing and raring to go. We are excited for this tour.” Pakistan skipper Bisma Maroof said that T20 is a power game. “We will display a better game.” In his message on Twitter, Shoaib Malik welcomed the visiting team and expressed good wishes for the series.
