Pakistan wicketkeeper-batsman Rohail Nazir unveiled his plans for the future, saying he wants to play Test cricket first before securing a spot in the team for upcoming World Cups.
Nazir is regarded as a future star and has expressed his desire to represent his country in all three formats.
The 22-year-old, who hails from Islamabad, recently featured in the President’s Cup Grade-I (1-Day) tournament.
In the five matches he played for Khan Research Laboratories, he amassed 100 runs at an average of 25.
“I think my future goals are to represent Pakistan in all three formats. Not just represent, but in the right way. Before any wish, my preparations are good. My goals are to first get my Test cap, then play in the World Cup,” he told Cricket Pakistan.
Nazir did not take part in the 2024 T20 World Cup, where the men in green failed to make it out of the group stage.
The talented youngster was also not included in the team for Pakistan’s two-Test series against Bangladesh.
Pakistan lost the first Test by 10 wickets and are now looking to level the series in the ongoing second Test, which started on August 30 in Rawalpindi.
Pakistan Squad for Bangladesh Test Series: Shan Masood (captain), Saud Shakeel (vice-captain), Aamer Jamal, Abdullah Shafique, Abrar Ahmed, Babar Azam, Kamran Ghulam, Khurram Shahzad, Mir Hamza, Mohammad Ali, Muhammad Hurraira, Mohammad Rizwan (wicketkeeper), Naseem Shah, Saim Ayub, Salman Ali Agha, Sarfaraz Ahmed (wicketkeeper), Shaheen Shah Afridi
