It was a dream come true to play for Pakistan, feels Nasir Jamshed – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nasir-Jamshed-c78752, the out of favour Pakistani batsman, believes that playing for the Pakistani team was ‘a dream come true’ and he will always cherish the memories.
The left-handed batsman from Lahore came through the ranks of junior cricket in the country and made his debut for Pakistan in 2008, against Zimbabwe. The left-hander has played 12 One Day Internationals so far, in which he scored four half-centuries and
is averaging 35.30 runs per innings, which is not bad for a youngster.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nasir-c78728 is considered among the most talented young batsmen in the domestic cricket of Pakistan. Most analysts are of the view that Nasir can be an asset for the team considering his mastery over big range shots.
While speaking to Pakpassion, Nasir said that it is still unbelievable for him to accept that he once wore the green shirt and played for the country.
Nasir said, "It feels like a distant dream that I played 12 one day internationals for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755. Sometimes I wonder if it actually happened and literally have to pinch myself and check the scorecards to see my name there."
Some analysts believe that even though Nasir’s initial performances at the international level were weak, keeping in mind his domestic performances he deserved more time to settle down.
The left-handed batsman scored a brisk half-century on his debut against Zimbabwe which he feels was the most memorable day of his life.
"My debut was a great day. Firstly being called up to the squad against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Zimbabwe-c3045 and then being named in the starting eleven was just brilliant. The icing on the cake was scoring 61 from only 48 deliveries. It was a boyhood dream to play for my country and
to achieve that at the age of 17 was just incredible", he added.
