Having performed exceptionally well during the Test series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Junaid-Khan-c77037, is now focussed to keep enhancing his skills and wants to have a scandal-free career.
The 22-year-old came to the limelight last year when he was included in Pakistan’s squad for the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 to make his international

from Wasim Akram and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Waqar-Younis-Maitla-c96193 in my mind which I got in my early days.”
A number of Pakistani youngsters have got carried away in the previous years because of the early success they enjoyed at the world stage, which destroyed their progress, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Imran-Nazir-c64248 being the prime examples.
