Pakistan spinner Usman Qadir said he hopes to play a prominent role in the 2022 T20 World Cup as he knows the conditions in Australia very well.
Having played domestic cricket in Australia, Qadir said he can be a useful asset to the Pakistan team in the tournament.
“If I get the opportunity to play, I will try to perform to the best of my ability. I have played in Australia in the past so I understand the pitches quite well,” the 28-year-old was quoted as saying by Cricket Pakistan.
Qadir is known for being a T20 International specialist as he has regularly featured for the men in green in that format.
As a result, he was not picked for the upcoming two-Test series against Sri Lanka, which will be held from July 16 to 28.
