Pakistan's Test Captain Misbah-ul Haq on Saturday expressed hope that the team would perform well during upcoming West Indies tour.

“We hope to perform well in the tour and will try to win all three formats on the tour,” said the Pakistan captain.

He added that West Indies as a team should not be taken lightly as they have some good players as part of their roster.

“We need to play using our full potential and can not afford to have a relaxed attitude during the away series,” added the veteran cricketer.

Misbah further said the current team selected for the tour with inclusion of youngsters who performed well during the recently concluded Pakistan Super League.

In January, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had invited West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) for a tour to play two T20s as a precondition in response to another invitation by West Indies asking Pakistan to play two T20 matches in Florida, United States.

However, WICB rejected the proposed tour to Pakistan, citing the security concerns being raised by the Federation of International Cricketers' Associations (FICA).
