Inzy has high hopes on Woolmer

"Woolmer is someone who has proven himself in different capacities. He is a high profile coach with a result oriented background," Inzamam told Reuters on Monday.

Woolmer was appointed last week in place of Javed Miandad. The Englishman, who coached South Africa from 1994 to 1999, begins his new assignment next month, a few days before the start of the Asia Cup in Sri Lanka.

"I am hoping he would be able to mould our team into a consistent winning outfit," Inzamam said.

"I am sad at Javed Miandad having to go, because we had a good understanding. But it is a board decision and my job is to forge a good working relationship with him (Woolmer)."

"Pybus was trying to establish himself as a coach of international repute with Pakistan. Woolmer is already established and I think this will help him in his assignment," added Inzamam.

The Pakistan captain also stated there would be no communication or cultural problems facing Woolmer.

"Our boys can communicate and understand with any foreigner. They are professionals and know in modern sports one has to work with foreigners," he said.
