Umar Gul depressed to have missed the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 Champions Trophy 2013 – Cricket News
Pakistani premier fast bowler, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Umar-Gul-c94604, is extremely disappointed to have missed the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2013 due to a knee injury but the right-arm pacer is happy that the players who have taken his place are doing
well.
The cricketer from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Peshawar-c832 injured himself during a fixture of the One Day International (ODI) series against South Africa at Centurion earlier this year. As a result, he was ruled out of the mega event, which is all set to start
tomorrow in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013.
“I’m the first to confess that it’s heartbreaking for me to miss a major tournament like the Champions Trophy in England,” the fast bowler said while speaking exclusively to Pakpassion.
Since the ban imposed on http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Asif-c1993 due to the spot-fixing controversy, Gul has been the spearhead of Pakistan’s fast bowling attack. However, most sporting analysts believe that the 29-year-old cricketer has
so far failed to justify his talent at the highest stage of the game.
In Gul’s absence, the likes of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757.
The experienced cricketer is not worried at the moment about regaining his place in the playing-11 and is delighted to see his replacements doing well for the country. Gul thinks that competition between fast bowlers will only
help the national team do well in future.
“Competition for places is always good and it’s great news for Pakistan cricket that there is plenty of competition for places in the fast bowling department, which means that nobody can take their place for granted and think their
place is guaranteed in the team in any format,” Gul expressed. “I’m pleased that some of the boys who have taken my place in the team at the moment are performing well and healthy competition can only benefit Pakistan cricket.”
