Pakistani players will addresses media conferences in Urdu

Coach Bob Wooler has said that Pakistani players will address all media conferences in their national language Urdu.
"The Pakistani players feel comfortable in their national language. They can express themselves freely in Urdu and they are proud of their language and their country. Our media manager Pervez Mir will act as interpreter during the press conferences."- Bob Woolmer

Most Pakistani players are not comfortable with English. One would remember that during the Daryl Hair controversy when the umpire forefeited the match, this issue had surfaced in a major way. There were opinions that the Pakistani players including captain Inzamam did not realise the seriousness of the situation as umpire Hair was speaking in English.

I think it will be better as the players will be able to speak more freely. Read the complete story here on fox sports.
