Junior World Cup was the turning point of my career, expresses Inzamam ul Haq - Cricket News Update
After serving Pakistan in international cricket for almost 16 years, the former captain, Inzamam ul Haq, has credited his stint at the under-19 level for the success he has enjoyed as one of the world’s finest middle-order batsmen.
The 42-year-old was a true product of the country’s domestic structure as he came through the ranks of age-group cricket and performed out of his skin before making it to the senior team in 1991.
The stylish batsman played a vital role in the Green Shirts’ title triumph in the ICC Cricket World Cup 1992 in Australia and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Imran-Khan-c64237. The right-hander went on to score more than 20 thousand
runs at the ultimate level of the game, with 35 centuries and 129 fifties, which is an astonishing record for a middle-order batsman.
The former cricketer from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Multan-c819 expressed that he understood his strengths and weaknesses better after playing junior cricket at the global level and believes that the experience helped him enhance his skills.
Inzamam represented Pakistan in the inaugural edition of the ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup 1987-88.
"The ICC U19 Cricket World Cup was probably the right opportunity for me at the right time. That tour helped me clearly understand where I stood in my age group and what I needed to do if I was keen to pursue my career in cricket," the former Test captain
said.
While talking about the upcoming http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 Under-19 Cricket World Cup 2012, which will be held in Australia next month, the great batsman feels that it is a massive platform for the budding cricketers to showcase their potential.
“My advice to these players will be to respect this opportunity. And if they succeed in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746, then sky is the limited for them,” Inzamam expressed. “If you have little bit of talent and spark, then this is the event from where you can only get better
and make a name for yourself.”
Interestingly, the former captain’s nephew, Imam ul Haq, a left-handed batsman who can bowl handy leg-breaks, is a part of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755’s squad for the upcoming mega event.
