I have no intentions of retiring from international cricket any time soon, says Mohammad Hafeez – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Hafeez-c76898, Pakistan’s T20 skipper, has no plans of calling it a day from international sport and made it clear that he will continue to play for the country as long as he is enjoying the game.
The right-handed opening batsman made his way to international cricket in 2003, when he was drafted in the Pakistan team for the Sharjah Cup. The stylish batsman from Sargodha failed to find a permanent spot in the national team for almost seven years before
making one of his many comebacks during Pakistan’s tour of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 in 2010.
Since then, the 31-year-old cricketer never looked back and has become an integral part of Pakistan team in all the three formats of the game. Hafeez has played a massive role in Pakistan’s success since the last 18 months with both bat and ball.
The all-rounder was recently made the captain of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758.
Hafeez is in his 30s and there are some question marks over his future but the right-handed batsman is still one of the fittest guys in the Pakistan team and wants to prolong his career as long as he can maintain the level of fitness required at the international
arena.
Pakistan’s T20 skipper, “I don't want to make a precise statement here but I can tell you I will walk away when I'm no longer useful. I understand every player has to go one day, but I am currently enjoying playing cricket and have maintained a good fitness
level. I haven't given a thought to how long I will play but I will continue till my form and fitness favour me.”
Hafeez gave a controversial statement earlier this month that not playing Indian Premier League is a massive disadvantage for Pakistani players and still maintains that cricketers from all across the world enhance their skills in playing totally different
conditions in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750.
“Yes, there is an opportunity because once you go there you become a better professional. And the more cricket you play, the more your chances of improving,” Hafeez added.
