"Given the problems and issues Pakistan cricket has faced in the last one year, it is difficult to see Pakistan among the top four in this World Cup," said Zaheer.

He said Pakistan cricket had done well to slowly recover from problems like spot-fixing. "But this process will take time and it's good to see that the new players inducted in the team in place of Salman Butt, Muhammad Aamir and Muhammad Asif are shaping up well. "But to expect this team to fire in the World Cup is a bit difficult."
