Up-and-coming Pakistan wicketkeeper-batsman Haseebullah Khan proclaimed that he is determined to have a long and successful international career.
The 20-year-old is one of many bright prospects in the country, but currently sits behind Mohammad Rizwan and Sarfaraz Ahmed when it comes to wicketkeeper-batsmen.
However, having earned his maiden call-up to the Pakistan team for the five-match T20I series against New Zealand in January, Haseebullah hopes this will be the beginning of a fruitful career for him.
“I will try my best to play for Pakistan and have a long career for Pakistan,” he told Geo Super.
Pakistan are currently involved in a three-match Test series against Australia, where they trail 1-0 after losing the first Test in Perth by 360 runs.
The second Test got underway on December 26 in Melbourne.
Pakistan’s T20I series against New Zealand will begin on January 12 in Auckland.
