Yasir Hameed vows to make a comeback to the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 team – Cricket News Update
Out of favour Test cricketer, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Yasir-Hameed-c2811, has vowed to make a comeback to the Pakistan team and said that he is looking at Pakistan captain, Misbah ul Haq, as an example, as the middle-order batsman made a return to the national team at the twilight of
his career.
Yasir last represented Pakistan in the controversial tour of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 in 2010. The top order batsman was also involved in a controversy when an English tabloid released some statements made by him.
Since then, he has been out of the national team but the batsman from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Peshawar-c832 has been doing extremely well in the domestic cricket of Pakistan. Yasir scored a magnificent hundred in the opening match of the Faysal Bank T20 Tournament at the National Stadium
Karachi, on the 25th of September, 2011.
Yasir said that he is at the prime of his career, despite the fact that he is 33 years old now. The top order batsman claimed that he is fully fit and worked hard on his game during the off-season.
He said, “I think I am still good enough to play for Pakistan and my international aspirations still burn brightly. I look at the example of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Misbah-ul-Haq-c1972 who has shown that age is no barrier and I look at him as my inspiration to return to the Pakistan
side."
Hameed has played 25 Test matches and 56 One Day Internationals for Pakistan. At one stage of his career, Yasir was a permanent member of the Pakistan team but he faced a slump of form in 2006 and as a result, he lost his place in the national team.
The batsman is hopeful that his splendid innings against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Quetta-c835 is going to give him some momentum and he will carry on scoring big runs in the domestic circuit.
“The innings against Quetta is hopefully the start of my comeback and I feel that I can still do a job at the top of the order for my country in any format. I have never been fitter, I have been working really hard on my fitness in the close season,” Hameed
said.
