Pakistan batting all-rounder Maaz Sadaqat has expressed his desire to represent his country in all three formats of the game.
Sadaqat is seen as a star in the making and has already made his ODI and T20I debuts this year.
His most recent assignment was the three-match T20I series against Sri Lanka earlier this month, where he had an excellent showing with the bat, scoring 146 runs, which included two fifties, at an average of 48.66 and a strike-rate of 175.90.
The 21-year-old will now be targeting a Test debut. He currently averages 38.18 after 25 first-class matches.
“My goal is to play for Pakistan in all three formats, represent my country for a long time, and win matches for the team,” he told Geo News.
Pakistan are currently competing in an ODI tri-series against Sri Lanka and England, but Sadaqat was not included in the squad.
The men in green began their campaign with a 37-run win over Sri Lanka and will look to make it two wins in two games when they face England on October 20 in Rawalpindi.
Pakistan’s Squad for the ODI tri-series against Sri Lanka and England: Shaheen Shah Afridi (captain), Abrar Ahmed, Salman Ali Agha, Arafat Minhas, Babar Azam, Faheem Ashraf, Fakhar Zaman, Ghazi Ghori (wicketkeeper), Haris Rauf, Hasan Nawaz, Naseem Shah, Razaullah, Saad Baig (wicketkeeper), Saim Ayub, Shadab Khan, Sufyan Moqim
