Omair Bin Yousuf, one of Pakistan’s rising batting stars, believes he is good enough to play all three formats.
The 25-year-old has slowly risen to prominence with his performances in domestic cricket as he averages 43.62 in first-class cricket, 30.88 in List A cricket and 36.26 in T20s.
Yousuf, who has represented Pakistan in three T20Is to date, added that he is willing to “bat at any position” in order to fulfil his dream of representing his country at the highest level.
“Mentally and skill wise I have all it takes to play for Pakistan not just in Tests but in any other format because I love this game and am prepared to bat at any position,” Yousuf told PakPassion.
The Karachi-born batsman was not picked for the 2024 T20 World Cup, where the men in green were eliminated in the group stage.
Currently, he is playing for Pakistan A and made scores of 6 not out and 100 not out in the team’s first unofficial Test against Bangladesh A in Darwin, Australia.
