Pakistan pacer Haris Rauf, who was recently rested for the three-match T20I series against Afghanistan, is eager to get back on the cricket field ahead of the limited-overs series against New Zealand on home soil.
“I got to rest after a long time so it will help me when I get back on the field. I’m physically fresh now and my energy level is better than before,” Rauf said.
The speedster said that the New Zealand series was important, hoping the Green Shirts will win it. “The World Cup is also around the corner and this series will help us prepare for that,” he added.
“We are not thinking about the fact that the New Zealand team doesn’t have renowned players. They still have players with international experience in their squad.”
He was also satisfied to see that Pakistan have adequate resources in the fast bowling department.
“The competition is increasing for fast bowlers and it’s good that we have a backup in this depart-ment,” he said. “Ihsanullah is also a good addition to our squad.”
“The cricketing world speaks very highly of Pakistani bowlers,” he added.—Agencies
