http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Yousuf-c77465 wants to complete 100 Test matches – Cricket News Update
Discarded Pakistani middle-order batsman, Mohammad Yousuf is disappointed that he has been ignored once again for the upcoming tour of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 but the veteran is confident that his Test career is not finished yet.
The stylish right-handed batsman is considered to be one of the best players produced by the country as he has more than 17 thousand runs in international cricket under his belt, including 39 hundreds.
The 37-year-old cricketer holds the world-record of most number of runs in a calendar year, when he surpassed Sir Vivian Richards in 2006.
Yousuf has been out of international cricket since 2010 as the previous selection committee, headed by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohsin-Hasan-Khan-c77595, was not satisfied with his fitness. The seasoned batsman did not take part in the previous domestic season in the country.
However, the veteran is now hungry once again for international cricket and wants to prolong his career to complete a century of Test matches. Yousuf has already made it clear that he is no more interested in playing limited-overs cricket at the highest
stage of the game.
Yousuf said, "I want to complete the milestone of playing 100 Tests. There are so many players still active on the international circuit who have played 100 Tests. I have just played 90. I am not disappointed nor have I given up."
The Lahore-born cricketer is geared up to take part in the upcoming domestic season in the country, in a bid to prove his form and fitness to the selectors.
"I was expecting a recall at least for the Tests but it has not come. I'm not disappointed nor have I given up. My ambition is to play 100 Tests like many other greats and I will continue to work hard for that," he mentioned.
He has been a prolific run-getter for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Azhar-Ali-c46890, Asad
Shafiq and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Umar-Akmal-c94595 have been performing well for the Green Shirts off-late.
