"I believe I am in the last five. I have always wanted to coach and the opportunity came along so I put my hand up", theage.com.au quoted Jones as saying.

Jones feels there is a lot of talent in Pakistan and that together they can achieve a lot of things.

Ultimately it comes down to the defensive part of their game that needs to be worked on, and that just comes down to proper drills and attention to detail, Jones said.

"Take out what has happened with the betting scandal, take out the security problems, everyone in the world who knows cricket knows they have always had a wonderful pool of talent. It's just a matter of getting the culture right, getting them to take ownership of their actions, working together and who knows, they could win a World Cup in three years time.'

Jones said that the PCB is passionate as they don't like losing and they tend to be reactive instead of proactive on decisions but if you paint the picture early as to where we want to go.

"We have got to find stability, pick our best 16 or 17 players and work with them for the one-dayers and Tests - I think they will do very well," he concluded.
