Malik, who is with 22 probables at a training and fitness camp in Lahore, told reporters that the team is working hard to ensure they achieve that goal in South Africa after poor shows in the last two ICC tournaments, the Champions Trophy and the World Cup.

"We have to improve our fielding because I believe this department will play a vital role in winning the Twenty20 Championship. We can save 20 to 25 runs as a result of good fielding and that is very important," he insisted, echoing the views of Talat Ali, team manager, who is placing special emphasis on fielding.

Commenting on India's decision to rest several senior players for the Championship, Malik assured reporters that it will not be the case with his side. "We will select only those who deserve to feature in Twenty20 cricket and the factor of senior or junior will not be significant."
