Junaid Khan must remained focussed, says http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Iqbal-Qasim-c76980 – Cricket News Update
Former left-arm spinner and Chief selector of Pakistan cricket team, Iqbal Qasim, is all praise for the left-arm fast bowler, Junaid Khan, and said that the youngster has a great future ahead of him if he is able to remain focussed.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sohail-Tanvir-c90665. The left-arm fast bowler never got a chance to showcase his skills in the mega
event but made his debut in Pakistan’s recent tour of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 and impressed one and all.
However, his best performance came against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/United-Arab-Emirates-c3033, when the rookie picked up a five wicket haul in the first innings at Abu Dhabi.
Junaid came through the ranks of junior cricket in Pakistan and played alongside another talented youngster, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Amir-c76675, who has been banned from international cricket for five years because of his alleged involvement in the spot-fixing controversy.
It was Qasim who picked Junaid for Pakistan Under-19s and claims that both the youngsters had the same ability but Amir was lucky that he got the opportunity earlier than the fast bowler from Abbottabad.
Qasim said, “Junaid is a very talented bowler, I saw Amir and Junaid when I was chief selector when they had just started playing U-19 cricket. Both of them had the same potential, both of them had a lot of bite, eagerness, enthusiasm and terrific control.”
Iqbal praised his performance in the first Test against the Islanders but he hopes that the left-arm fast bowler can carry on with the good work and remains composed for success.
“He bowled well in the first test. He has to concentrate hard, keep his focus and perform constantly and in different conditions. With the passage of time he will learn. If he keeps working hard, he has a big future ahead,” he added.
The second Test of the series is going to start from 26th of October in Dubai.
