Hard to believe that I am not amongst the best 42 players in Pakistan, says http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Tanvir-Ahmed-c92718 – Cricket News update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755’s out of favour fast bowler, Tanvir Ahmed, expressed disappointment with the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for not getting a central contract but claims that he will make his way back in the national team by performing exceptionally well in the upcoming
domestic season.
After a satisfactory performance in the Caribbean last year, Tanvir, along with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Zimbabwe-c3045 in the same year. Quite ironically, the fast bowler has been sidelined since then in all the formats of the game.
PCB announced the list of centrally contracted players last month, which included four categories (A, B, C and a Stipend Category). Tanvir, however, was snubbed once again, despite some heartening performances in the previous domestic season.
While talking to Pakpassion, the Kuwait-born cricketer said that it was hard for him to believe that he has not played for the country since the last 12 months but to be deprived of the central contract is not acceptable at all.
“They dropped me from international cricket which was hard to accept but then I was surprisingly omitted from the list of contracted players. I find it hard to believe that I am not amongst the best 42 players in Pakistan at the moment,” Tanvir expressed.
The 33-year-old has done reasonably well at the ultimate level of the sport in his short career but his age has turned out to be a disadvantage for him as selectors are looking to build a team for the future.
The strongly-built fast bowler is keen to prove his critics wrong and claims that he will be among the top wicket-takers of the next Quaid e Azam Trophy.
The fast bowler said, “I’m looking forward to the coming domestic season and the chance to prove a few people wrong. I’m more determined than ever to show people that I still have the will power and determination to succeed and perform at the top level of
cricket.”
Taking into account the fast bowlers' performance in the on-going tour of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758, the selectors will be tempted once again to recall the cricketer from Karachi.
