Karachi, April 08: Age is catching up, fitness was never his strength and he has lost his central contract as well but controversial pacer Shoaib Akhtar insists he is not done just yet and would make an international comeback soon.
The 34-year-old said he would be using the domestic Pentangular Cup one-day tournament as a platform to convince the selectors that he is ready to resume playing international cricket.
The fast bowler has been named in the Federal Areas team for the tournament starting April 17.
“I am thankful to the board for giving me this opportunity to prove myself again and I want to give it my best effort,” Akhtar said.
He also made it clear that people who were writing him off are making a mistake.
