LAHORE: World’s tallest fast bowler Mohammad Irfan said that he is eyeing to make his comeback in international side for the series against Sri Lanka.
The 33-year-old pacer has not played for Pakistan since March, when a stress fracture of the pelvis prematurely ended his World Cup.
He did, however, make a return to competitive cricket on Saturday during a domestic T20 tournament in Faisalabad, and picked up a wicket with his very first delivery.
“I am playing here [in Faisalabad] with the permission of the cricket board and selectors,” Said Irfan. “They wanted to see how I respond after recovering from the injury and I am hopeful I would be considered for the one-dayers and T20 game in Sri Lanka next month. I enjoy cricket and bowling and it is a challenge bowling in T20 cricket, but I have learnt how to cope with the mindset of the batsmen now.”
The fast bowler said that he gained a lot from the World Cup, where he took eight wickets from five matches, missing Pakistan’s quarter-final loss against Australia was a huge disappointment.
