Don't want to dwell on past, want to perform in PSL: tainted opener Sharjeel

Making a comeback to competitive cricket after serving a five-year ban for spot-fixing, tainted Pakistan opener Sharjeel Khan on Sunday said he doesn't want to dwell on the past and his only focus is to perform at the upcoming Pakistan Super League.

"Look every person has a past and future and I don't want to dwell into the past," said Sharjeel, who is set to return for the Karachi Kings in the fifth edition of PSL to be held from February ?20 to March 22.

"What happened is over and the chapter is closed. My only focus now is on performing well in this PSL and I am not even thinking about national selection."

The 30-year-old was banned from all forms of cricket for five years -- half of it suspended -- for his role in a spot-fixing scandal during the 2017 PSL edition.

"I went out while playing the PSL and I am making a comeback in the PSL so it is very significant for me to perform in this tournament," he said.

Should be something like ‘I firstly denied fixing, I then realised that I had been caught red handed, I then admitted it and got banned. I then just put on loads of weight and didn’t bother training whilst I’ve been banned. I am now back in the team and will focus on trying to perform in the PSL the same tournament where I tried to cheat and make a quick rupee’ ‘but don’t worry I am now a saint’
