Shoaib Akhtar aims to facilitate his return through Quaid-e-Azam Trophy |
Controversial Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib
Akhtar will be seen in action in the country's premier first class tournament,
the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, to prove his fitness in order to make a comeback to the
national squad. Akhtar would be playing for Khan Research Laboratories in the
tournament beginning October 10, The Daily Times reports. "Shoaib is keen to appear
in the tournament and prove his match fitness to the selectors as he is targeting
a return to the national team for the one-day series against New Zealand in Abu
Dhabi and Dubai in October," an Islamabad Cricket Association official said. Akhtar
last played against Australia in an ODI series in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, but he
struggled with his form and fitness during the whole event. Earlier, the 33 year-old
pacer was selected for a home one-day series against Sri Lanka but was dropped
midway for poor form and fitness. He then pulled out of the Tests against the
same team due to a knee injury. |
