Pakistan spinner Usama Mir said he has “worked intensely” on his bowling after he failed to perform well at the 2023 ICC Cricket World Cup.
Having put in a lot of hard work, Mir pointed out that he has “delivered strong performances everywhere”.
The 29-year-old from Sialkot last played for his country in April 2024, but hasn’t given up on making an international comeback.
“When my 2023 World Cup performance didn’t go well, I worked intensely on my bowling. Since then, I’ve delivered strong performances everywhere. My determination is to work every day on enhancing my performance and capabilities,” he told Geo News.
Mir was recently in action in the 2025 Pakistan Super League (PSL) and took four wickets in seven matches for the Multan Sultans at an average of 55.50 and an economy rate of 9.31.
He wasn’t picked for Pakistan’s three-match T20I series against Bangladesh, which the men in green won 3-0.
Pakistan Squad for Bangladesh T20I Series: Salman Ali Agha (captain), Shadab Khan (vice-captain), Abbas Afridi, Abrar Ahmed, Faheem Ashraf, Fakhar Zaman, Haris Rauf, Hasan Ali, Hassan Nawaz, Hussain Talat, Khushdil Shah, Mohammad Haris (wicketkeeper), Muhammad Irfan Khan, Naseem Shah, Sahibzada Farhan (wicketkeeper) and Saim Ayub
