I am comfortable in the longer format, says Zulfiqar Babar – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Raza-Hasan-c84407, the young left-arm spinner, for a place in the national team. However, the experienced cricketer believes that he can be extremely useful in the longer format of the game.
The cricketer from Okara has been doing brilliantly at the national level for many years now but he has come to the limelight in the current season, having picked up 62 wickets in just nine first-class matches, which is an exceptional performance for a finger-spinner.
At the present moment, the Green Shirts have the services of a number of quality slow bowlers like http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758, showing an extra-ordinary temperament in crunch situations.
Raza however, is yet to prove his credentials in the longer format of the game and Babar, while speaking to ESPNcricinfo, claims that he can do the job for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 in Tests. The talented cricketer is confident about playing international cricket, although he is 33.
“Raza might be ahead of me for different reasons but Test and limited-overs cricket are a different ball game and he is good with the short format of the game and I am comfortable for the longer format,” Babar said. “What I want is to keep pinching the selectors with my performances. I am not afraid of any contest with anyone, I know a time will come that nobody will stop me from playing for Pakistan.”
Having made his first-class debut almost 11 years ago, the left-arm spinner has not given up on his dream of playing for Pakistan.
“I started playing cricket thinking to play for my country and pursing the goal I have taken a lot of time to reach the big stage,” he added.
