So far, he has scored 138 runs in six matches, which includes a half-century, at an average of 24 and a strike-rate of 140.81.

“I want to represent Pakistan in the future which is why I’m extensively working on my form and fitness to ensure that I achieve that goal,” he told Cricket Pakistan. “With the guidance of my father, I’m hopeful that this dream will come true.”

Azam added that he is also trying to ignore all the criticism he gets for being picked in the Gladiators team just because he is Moin’s son.

“I have faced a lot of criticism because of it [being Moin Khan’s son] but I try to take that positively and let my bat do the talking,” he said.

The Gladiators’ next PSL game is against the Peshawar Zalmi in Rawalpindi on Thursday.
