Saim Ayub speaking during an interview:
“After a long time, I’m feeling really excited. Four matches have already taken place, and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed playing them. It feels much better than before. PCB has been fully supportive and has fulfilled all my needs, for which I am truly grateful.”
“As for the impact and challenges, I didn’t let anything negative affect me. Instead, I focused on the positives and the learning opportunities that came my way. I prepared my mind to embrace the situation and avoided dwelling on the negatives, as there’s no benefit in that. Staying positive and handling what’s in my control is what I focused on.”
“Everything happens for a reason. I accepted it, instead of sitting and complaining about why it happened or thinking it shouldn’t have happened. I decided to take positives from the situation, strengthen my mental toughness, and use the time to think about how I can evolve my game.”
“If the team doesn’t win, there’s no contribution to help, but we still have important matches ahead. I will try my best to ensure the team wins, which will make it even more enjoyable. This upcoming match at Lahore Stadium, which has been reconstructed recently, will be my first game here. I’m really excited to play at this venue, especially because the fans are always enthusiastic, and the crowd is generally packed. It’s going to be a thrilling experience.”
