ABU DHABI - Pakistan's one-day skipper Azhar Ali insisted Thursday that his fast developing team is well set to qualify directly for the 2019 World Cup. Hosts England and the top seven teams in the one-day rankings on September 30 next year will get a direct place in the World Cup. Ali said the win over West Indies was important in the quest for a World Cup place. "We have to keep this improvement with one year to go for the (World Cup 2019) deadline." But Ali believes the confidence level of the players was high after the series win over the struggling West Indies.
