Pakistan batsman Sahibzada Farhan wants to be given a proper chance to prove himself in international cricket.
He believes the only way to do this is to get a prolonged run in the team, where he can see consistent game time.
Farhan pointed out that it is impossible to deem whether a player is good or not based off their performance in one or two games.
“There’s always pressure in international cricket, but one or two matches aren’t enough to judge a player’s career. In my opinion, it’s essential to give players a fair chance, like five or six matches, to prove themselves,” he was quoted as saying by Cricket Pakistan.
The 28-year-old was recently in action in Pakistan’s T20I series against Australia, where he made 22 runs at an average of 7.33.
The men in green were whitewashed 3-0, but won the ODI leg of the tour 2-1, which gave them their first ODI series win in Australia since 2002.
Pakistan will now travel to Zimbabwe to play three ODIs and three T20Is from November 24 to December 5.
