Pace bowler Haris Rauf has revealed that he is determined to represent Pakistan in next year’s T20 World Cup.
The tournament will be held in Australia, which is where Rauf has been stealing the spotlight over the last few days.
The 26-year-old is currently playing for the Melbourne Stars in the Big Bash League (BBL) and has been on fire in his first two games.

In his BBL debut against the Brisbane Heat, which the Stars won by 22 runs, he took figures of 2-20 off his four overs, which included a wicket off his very first ball.
He followed that up with a five-wicket haul in the Melbourne Stars’ 52-run win over the Hobart Hurricanes.
