"Would have been good if Test matches against Sri Lanka had been held in Pakistan" : Shadab Khan
Shadab Khan speaking to the media:
I have reported at the NCA from yesterday and today was my first session.
This fitness camp is very useful for players and all the ones I have been involved in the past have really helped me as a player in terms of fitness
Everyone does these camps together and that really helps us all and we get to learn something new
Hasan’s wedding went off well
It is true that I have played more white-ball cricket and playing red-ball cricket is tough
I have played 4 Tests and have done well with the bat, but bowling performances have not been that good
In this camp, I will try and bowl as many long spells as possible – also first-class season is about to start, and I will try my best to do long spells and improve my bowling
I feel that marriages are made in heaven, and once my parents like someone then I will marry based on their opinion
I always try and do well where my team needs me most and I am giving special attention to my batting and I am practicing a lot to improve that skills as that is needed for me
I am not overconfident, but you cannot perform at your best in every game, so I am trying my best to improve my bowling, batting and fielding
If you wish to survive in international cricket, you need to introduce something new to your game
I am trying to learn new things and with my seniors’ help, I will apply that in my game too
I have played under Misbah Bhai a lot and I have also learnt a lot from him
As far as rumours of his appointment as coach is concerned, if it happens, those are decision of the PCB
It is our hope that international cricket will return to Pakistan and it would have been good if the Test matches against Sri Lanka had also been held in the country
Every player wishes to play cricket in front of his home audiences, and I would like international cricket to return to Pakistan and hope we play Tests at home
