Dav Whatmore has given me a lot of confidence, says Mohammad Irfan – Cricket News Update
Delighted to have made a comeback to the national team, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Davenell-Frederick-Whatmore-c52571 has given him immense confidence and he hopes to deliver the goods in the forthcoming T20 series against India.
The cricketer from Gaggu Mandi has been doing brilliantly in the on-going domestic season in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Multan-c819 Tigers, earning a recall to the national team for the two-match T20 series against the neighbouring country.
Irfan made his international debut in 2010 during the controversial tour of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 but failed to make an impression as he remained wicket-less in the two One Day Internationals he played against the hosts at Chester-le-Street and Leeds respectively.
The lanky fast bowler was dropped from the team because of his poor fitness and fielding but as per the current selection committee, headed by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Iqbal-Qasim-c76980, the former left-arm spinner, Irfan has shown signs of improvement.
While speaking to Pakpassion, the 30-year-old cricketer revealed that the national team’s head-coach has seen him bowl in the President’s Trophy 2012-13 and is thankful to Whatmore for his valuable advice. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Akram-c76621.
“Dav Whatmore came to see my games in Islamabad during the President’s Trophy and spoke to me there. He provided me with a lot of confidence for which I am really thankful,” Irfan said. “I have spoken to Mohammed Akram on many occasions. They have been very happy with my bowling and also given advice to me on my physical fitness and bowling.”
Irfan has so far grabbed 128 wickets in 35 first-class matches with an average of about 26 runs per scalp. The lanky player has a massive opportunity of cementing his place in the national team by doing well against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750.
The left-armer credited his personal coach and former first-class cricketer, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nadeem-Iqbal-c78403, for his return to the global stage.
“I am also grateful to my coach and mentor Nadeem Iqbal for his constant encouragement. He has always been convinced that I will make a comeback to the international side,” he added.
