Umar Akmal scored two ducks in T20I series against Sri Lanka in October.
LAHORE (Web Desk) - Pakistan batsman Umar Akmal has made a claim about his return to international cricket, saying “I am really looking forward to making an early comeback”.
It is pertinent to mention here that Akmal recently made a comeback in the national team in a three-match home T20I series against Sri Lanka. He was failed to convince with his performance which led his ouster from the team once again.
Akmal was subsequently dropped for the ongoing tour of Australia, but is confident that he will regain his spot in the Pakistan team sooner rather than later.
He also called on Pakistan head coach and chief selector Misbah-ul-Haq to understand “how difficult it is for a player to perform on a comeback”.
“I know I haven’t come upon expectations but it happens with a cricketer. I try my best to perform,” Akmal was quoted as saying by Ary Sports. “Being a cricketer, he (Misbah) knows how difficult it is for a player to perform on a comeback. I am really looking forward to making an early comeback.”
To a query about comparing him with another controversial player Ahmed Shahzad, Akmal said that it is wrong to continuously bashing players. “People should back us as we also don’t want to be failed. Be it Ahmed or any other player, wants support from people,” he concluded.
