Khalid Latif vows to make a comeback in the Pakistan team – Cricket News Update
The out of favour Pakistani batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Khalid-Latif-c71261, has not given up hopes of making a comeback to the national team, and feels that his recent performances in the Faysal Bank Super 8 T20 Tournament 2012 is going to help him realise that dream.
The top-order batsman from Karachi came through the ranks of junior cricket in Pakistan and has represented the country at the under-17 and under-19 level. He was always considered a very talented batsman and was predicted to have a great career. However,
the right handed batsman has so far failed to live up to the expectations.
Latif has represented a number of domestic teams in Pakistan but currently he plays for his native city, Karachi. For the last couple of seasons, the right hander has been a prolific performer, especially in the limited-overs format of the game.
The 26-year-old cricketer made his debut for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Zimbabwe-c3045 and so far he has played five One Day Internationals, and as many T20 matches for his country, but has failed to cement his place in the national team.
While speaking to Pakpassion, Latif said that he has been in good form in the on-going season and this was reflected in the recently concluded T20 tournament in Rawalpindi.
Latif said, “I went into the Super 8s tournament having scored 325 runs in five matches in the National One Day Cup at an average of 82.25. I was top of the averages in that particular tournament, so yes I was full of confidence going into the twenty over
competition.”
The top-order batsman is confident that he can still make his way back to international cricket if given an opportunity, Latif is geared up to perform well at the highest stage of the game.
“Any cricketer wherever he may be, his ultimate dream is to play for his country. That dream http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Burns-c48842 bright for me and will never diminish. My aim is always to perform well whenever I get the chance and for whichever team it is for,” he added.
