LAHORE: Pakistan’s left arm pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi has set his sights on becoming the best bowler in the upcoming ODI series at home against West Indies.
While speaking to the media here, Shaheen stated that his goal is to take as many wickets as possible in order to be named the best bowler in the series.
“I will try to be the best bowler in the series by getting the maximum number of wickets in the series,” he said.
“It’s hot, but we hope to play some good cricket in it. It would be a tough challenge for fast bowlers to play long stretches in the summer, but as professionals, we are ready to take it on,” he maintained.
Shaheen further weighed in on her participation in the County Championship and stated that her purpose was to gain valuable experience.
“The reason behind playing county cricket was to gain experience as it would help us when it comes to playing Test matches in England,” Shaheen claimed.
The pacemaker on the left arm then called the upcoming ODI series important for the Green Shirts as it is part of the World Cup Super League.
“I don’t consider any team weak.
This series is important for us to qualify for the World Cup,” he said.
The pacemaker also shared his views on playing international cricket in Multan for the first time, calling the fans “very supportive”.
