Pakistan pace bowler Haris Rauf has revealed that his hope and dream for 2020 is to represent his country at the T20 World Cup and help them win the tournament.
Rauf’s comments come after he was included included in Pakistan’s squad for the three-match Twenty20 series against Bangladesh, which will be held in Lahore from January 24 to 27.
The 26-year-old, who has yet to make his international debut, has been lighting up the Big Bash League (BBL) with the Melbourne Stars as he is currently the joint second-highest wicket-taker in the tournament with 16 wickets in seven matches at an average of 11.56 and an economy rate of 6.89.
Some of his highlights during the BBL included a five-wicket haul and a hat-trick.
