Imran Nazir is hoping to make his comeback in the
national team and he claims that he has the ability to win matches
single-handedly for Pakistan.
He last played for Pakistan in the T20 series against
England in February 2010. After that, he started being neglected by the
selectors. Now, the 30-year-old Nazir has been continuously playing well in the
T20 cricket circuit.
He has been included in Pakistan’s 30-man preliminary squad
named for the upcoming World Twenty20 to be held in Sri Lanka in
September-October.
Pakistan cricket team selectors are being urged by some
of the former cricketers to give Nazir another
chance to play in the national team. According to them, Nazir is the most
naturally gifted batsman in the country.
In an interview to Pakpassion.net, he acknowledged that
he has miserably failed to justify his talent over the years. He also said that
he has now matured as a cricketer and if he is given another chance he will not
disappoint the selectors.
Imran said, “I feel that now is my time to be playing
international cricket as I think that I am a far better batsman these days, a
more complete batsman, a batsman who has the ability to singlehandedly win a
match for Pakistan.”
Showing his performance in the Bangladesh Premier
League (BPL) earlier this year, he has impressed everyone. He is determined to
do the same thing in the Sri Lanka Premier League (SLPL), which will start from
next month.
He is expecting to get more offer from franchises all
over the world as he is a genuine match-winner in the shortest format of the
game.
