Pakistan all-rounder Fawad Alam has revealed that he will focus on his fitness and domestic cricket after being overlooked for the upcoming tours to Ireland and England.

Alam’s omission from the Test squad has been heavily criticised by numerous former players, including legendary Pakistan left-arm seamer Wasim Akram and former wicketkeeper-batsman Rashid Latif.

Despite this, Alam is putting on a brave face and is ready to soldier on.

“For me, the next thing is keeping fit and continuing to be a part of the domestic circuit. I have Grade 2 semi-final for Karachi coming up followed by Pakistan Cup,” he was quoted as saying by Geo News.

When asked about being snubbed by the national selectors once again, Alam said: “It’s not like everyone who plays gets picked, it is part of the game.

“Cricket is our bread and butter and I do not know anything else besides that. What else am I going to do besides play cricket?”
