Find Out"Pretty confident going into it (Asia Cup). Obviously starting the competition is pretty exciting, there's a little bit of the unknown but I think we played some good cricket in Ireland, and we will make the guys hungry and determined for the Asia Cup," Trott was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz.
"I think they know the facilities here and they know the conditions. So yeah [we're] confident, but you know a lot of people have played here and lot of teams have played here and all teams are aware of the facilities and the condition of the field and the pitches. So we can have our work cut out."
Further, Trott talked about their skipper Mohammad Nabi saying his all-round ability and leadership skills will be the key for their success.
"He is very good, he understands and reads the game really well. So that is definitely one of his best leadership qualities amongst other things," Trott added.
