Mohammad Asif still hopeful about his career – Cricket News Update
Banned Pakistani fast bowler, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Asif-c1993 has expressed his desire to make a comeback to international cricket and claimed that he is completely innocent.
The 29-year-old cricketer is considered to be one of the most talented fast bowlers produced by the country by many, including former World Cup winning captain, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Imran-Khan-c64237. This is a huge cormpliment, considering the fact that Pakistan has a rich history
of legendary fast bowlers, who have ruled the world of cricket over the years.
So far, Asif has miserably failed to live up to his potential as he has had a career full of controversies. From doping to drugs and then from fighting with the players to the spot-fixing scandal, the fast bowler from Sheikhupura has let his country down
on a number of occasions.
In the 23 Test matches that he played for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755, Asif grabbed 106 scalps at an average of 24.36 runs per wicket. On top of that, Asif had a strike-rate of 48.7 balls per wicket, which is one of the best in the modern-day sport.
He was sentenced to jail in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 last year and got released on Thursday. The fast bowler is geared up to prove that he is innocent and he never bowled deliberate no-balls in the Lords Test.
Asif said while talking to Geo TV, "I am hopeful that I will come out of the problem that I found myself in unwittingly."
Disgraced fast bowler expressed that he still has the ability to deliver the goods at the highest stage of the game, even though he has not been playing competitive cricket since last 18 months.
Asif also thanked his fans for supporting him in such bad times.
"A http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ian-Douglas-Fisher-c63819 will never forget how to swim. A bowler doesn't forget how to bowl well. I have maintained fitness and I will try my best to keep up with this level of fitness. I am thankful to all those who have prayed for me. I would like to be back in the ground
playing and I hope my fans will soon see me back," he added.
