http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ahmed-Shehzad-c42359 ready to work hard till his last breath for an international return – Cricket News Update
Pakistan’s out of favour opening batsman, Ahmed Shehzad, is desperate to make a comeback at the ultimate stage of the game and expressed that playing for the country remains the dream of every player, despite all the hype attached with
the franchise cricket.
The cricketer from Lahore made his first-class debut in 2007, representing Lahore Shalimar. The stylish opening batsman was later signed by Habib Bank Limited (HBL), one of the strongest domestic teams in the country.
The hard-hitting batsman represented the Green Shirts in the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Malaysia-c2949, helping his team qualify for the semi-finals.
A year later, Shehzad made his international debut against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/United-Arab-Emirates-c3033 (UAE). However, even after a struggle of more than three years, the 20-year-old cricketer is not yet a permanent member of the national team.
Apart from inconsistent performances, the aggressive batsman has had disciplinary issues in past, hampering his progress in international cricket.
While talking to Pakpassion, the discarded batsman admitted that he failed to find a place in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755’s World T20 squad due to poor performances in past but vows to make an international return in future. Shehzad claims to be completely
focused on the game at the present moment.
“The T20 team that has been selected was perhaps the best possible team. It means that I need to work harder in order to get back into the team,” the opening batsman said. “I am not worried about anything else. For that, I will be working
hard till my last breath.”
Over the last 12 months, Shehzad has played the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 Premier League (SLPL); however, he feels that there is no match to international cricket.
“If I work hard hard and discipline myself, then InshaAllah (God-willing), I'll be in the team. As a player, you play for different teams and participate in different leagues, earning large amounts of money. However, for any player,
it is a dream to represent and play for your country,” the talented youngster mentioned.
Shehzad seems to be maturing with age, which is a good sign for the future of Pakistan cricket.
