International cricket must return to Pakistan, believes http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Hafeez-c76898 – Cricket News Update
Pakistani all-rounder, Mohammad Hafeez, has voiced his opinion, that International cricket must come back to Pakistan, as the people of his country love the game, and claimed that Pakistan is ompletely safe for cricket.
No international cricket team apart from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 since the terror attack on the Sri Lankan team in March 2009, in Lahore. Since then, Pakistani cricketers and the people have been deprived of International cricket on their land,
and they have had to play their home matches in either http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013.
Hafeez made his debut for Pakistan in 2003 but he generally struggled to cement his place in the national team. However, the situation has been totally different since the last one year, as Hafeez has not only become a permanent member of the Pakistan team,
he has also emerged as a match-winner, both with the ball and the bat.
While talking about his extra-ordinary performance in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Zimbabwe-c3045, Hafeez feels that being a professional cricketer, it is the job of every player to adjust himself to different circumstances. He urged the cricketing world to realize that Pakistan is a major
cricketing force and it will not be in the benefit of the game if international cricket stays away from Pakistan for too long.
Hafeez said, “All of the batsmen and bowlers have had to come to terms with unfamiliar conditions all of the time. The management and players do deserve a lot of credit for the work they have put in over the last couple of years. My message is simple to
the rest of the cricketing world, we Pakistanis love their cricket and want to see international cricket return to their homeland.”
On the topic of the on-going Faysal Bank T20 Tournament in Karachi, the all-rounder from Sargodha believes that http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sialkot-c842, Karachi and Lahore are the hot-favourites of the tournament.
“This time around if you look at the overall strengths of the teams taking part, the Karachi http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Lions-c808 look very strong,” the Pakistani opener added.
All the recent T20 tournaments in Pakistan have achieved great success; however, the Pakistani sides are still not able to join the big leagues, like IPL or CL T20.
