Mohammad Irfan, the lanky Pakistan fast bowler, is delighted with his return to the national team and revealed that the team management gave him a plan to bowl at during the recently-concluded tour of India.
The Green Shirts dismantled http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MS-Dhoni-c2028 and company by two games to one, clinching the One Day International (ODI) series; whereas, the two-match T20 series was leveled.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Junaid-Khan-c77037 and Irfan, played a huge role in their team’s success, with the two left-armers creating problems for the Indian top-order batsmen.
Irfan made his international debut in 2010 during the controversial tour of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 but failed to make an impression in the two ODIs he played. The tall fast bowler went back to the domestic level and performed well for a couple of seasons to regain a place
in the Pakistan side.
The cricketer from Gaggu Mandi picked up only three wickets in as many matches but he bowled with a reasonably good economy rate.
While speaking exclusively to ESPNcricinfo, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Irfan-c64444 expressed that the captain and the coach wanted him to consistently bowl at the right line and length, instead of looking for wickets all the time.
“I was given a plan to bowl at the right line and length, and I did fairly well. My coach and captain wanted me to maintain the dominance with the ball and keep the batsmen on the back foot. They wanted me to be focused on bowling in the right areas rather
than pushing hard to take wickets,” he said.
While talking about the upcoming Test series against South Africa, Irfan mentioned that he possesses the ability to deliver the goods in the longer format of the game as well. The tall fast bowler is high on confidence after doing well against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 and
wants to carry forward the momentum against the number one ranked Test team of the world.
Irfan added, “I am positive about it. It will be another exciting challenge for me. I did well in India, where the pitches aren't really helpful to a fast bowler. I am optimistic about my success in Test cricket. I have a great support staff working with
me.”
