Pakistan's http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Umar-Amin-c94597 rues loss of opportunity in 2010 - Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755’s talented left-handed batsman, Umar Amin, has admitted that he got ample opportunities to prove his credentials during the tour of England in 2010 but failed to make an impact at the highest stage of the game.
The 23-year-old cricketer, who represented the Green Shirts in the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 and the hosts.
Amin was included in playing elevens for four Tests, two each verses the Aussies and England, but the left-hander just managed 99 runs in eight innings, at an average of 12.37 runs per innings. Despite looking impressive on certain stages, the youngster failed to convert his starts into big knocks, much to the disappointment of the Pakistani fans.
While speaking to Pakpassion, the cricketer from Rawalpindi refused to give any excuse and confessed that he should have done better, although the condihttp://www.senore.com/Cricket/Thomas-George-Burrows-c93472ions in England were alien to him.
“I don’t want to make any excuses at all. I was given 8 innings to prove myself in England which was ample time,” the budding player expressed. “I didn’t perform as well as I should have in England and that was my fault, nobody else’s. I entirely take the blame for that, I should have done a lot better in England in 2010 despite the unfamiliar conditions.”
Having done exceptionally well in the President’s Trophy 2012-13, Amin has made a comeback to the Pakistan team for the upcoming tour of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750. The left-hander is included in the T20 squad and it remains to be seen whether he gets an opportunity to showcase his skills or not.
The middle-order batsman played league cricket in England this year and feels that playing in bowling-friendly conditions has enhanced his game.
“I was in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Lancashire-c806 for nearly six months. It was a fantastic experience both on and off the field. The club really looked after me and made me feel very welcome,” Amin added.
