"My favourite all-rounders are Andrew Flintoff and Jacques Kallis" : Amad Butt

[Abdullah719]

Amad Butt at a media talk today:

Being a professional, every player wishes to represent Pakistan. I have been a part of the team in the past. I am thankful to be back in the squad, I have worked on those areas where I felt I lacked and I am hopeful that I will get to play and perform well.

People say that we feel the lack of a player like Abdul Razzaq. I will try to do as well as possible for the team in both bowling and batting.

Babar Azam is a world class batsman, it's difficult to bowl to him in the nets. Before, we used to think about how to bowl to world class batsmen but now we have one in our team so it's a different experience.

My favourite all-rounders are Andrew Flintoff and Jacques Kallis.

I am excited to be in the Pakistan team and playing at home is a matter of honour.

Bangladesh is a very good team. We are hopeful that we will play good cricket against them.

I will put in my best effort and the rest is in Allah's hands.

I have been selected as an all-rounder and I will try to fulfill expectations.

Ben Stokes is a complete all-rounder and I wish to perform with bat and ball and also in the field, not just in one aspect.

I want to be considered as an all-rounder and I want to contribute in all facets whenever I get a chance.

 

[Saj]

Great opportunity for him.

Home series, he's in good form and with all due respect, not the greatest of opponents.

I keep hearing people say Amad deserves a chance, well here's your chance, now grab it with both hands.

 

[MenInG]

Pakistan waiting for a good all-rounder to show up and make that slot his own. Golden opportunity for Amad, obviously if he is given a chance to shine.

 

[Ryw]

Good luck to Ammad Butt, i have watched his few matches, will be a very handy cricketer in white ball cricket. I reckon he can be a batting allrounder at #6 or #7 for Pakistan

 

[MenInG]

Done well today in KPL 2 for Muzaffarabad Hawks vs Kotli Lions - scored 47*(24)

 

[Justcrazy]

He was decent bowler with new ball. A kind of batting all rounder. Not sure he will get to play for Pakistan.

 

[MenInG]

Amad Butt registered 4-52 to help Balochistan seal a berth in the #PakistanCup final.

Player of the Pakistan Cup: Amad Butt (Balochistan); 365 runs and 19 wickets

A huge injustice right here when Aamer Jamal, who didn't do jack in the Pakistan Cup, was picked ahead of Amad for the ODI probables.
365 runs at a SR of 115 and 19 wickets at 26. >>>>>>> zilch runs and 7 wickets at 61.

Him and Zafar both have something in common; both of them I think were last part of the Pakistan squad in the last tour to NZ and both of them have done something to upset the people at the helm of affairs at PCB as every Tom, Dick and Harry seems to be getting selected for national squads these days but these two can't get a break.

 

[MenInG]

Playing in BPL this year

 

[MenInG]

Great spell from Amad in BPL game - 2.1 overs and has 3 wickets for 13 runs

 

[moghul]

Gosh, he is just 27 ? I'm watching him for ever. I remember when he played for Pakistan under 19, he looked like an outright fast bowler in making. His pace has regressed over the years. From Razzaq to Hasan Ali, many of our fast bowlers lose their steam when they trun 26-27 ( officially ).

But if he has been performing, deserves a chance in national team again.

 

[bilawal666]

Has he shaved his beard?

 

[sweep_shot]

Good choices.

Kallis is possibly the greatest all-rounder of all-time.
