Young talented batsman Umar Akmal was brimming with joy for being included in the national test squad against Sri Lanka said if he is asked to play in only one format for Pakistan, he will chose Test cricket.
Akmal said every time a test squad was announced, I would be hoping, praying and waiting and now my chance has finally come. “Test cricket is the toughest format, it provides cricketers with the biggest challenges and you learn the most about yourself in Test cricket. This is why I am desperate to re-launch my Test career and want to be a regular pick in the Pakistan Test side,” he said
Talking about his role-model in Pakistan cricket, Umar said Younis Khan is someone who he really admires and look up to. “Younis embodies the best qualities of Pakistan cricket in terms of personality and ability. I am delighted he is back in the ODI squad and I am looking forward to bat with him again in the fifty over format,” Umar said.
