Fakhar Zaman confident of returning for Pakistan at ICC Champions Trophy

Al Jazeera  

The previously out-of-favour opener aims to make his way back into the Pakistan white-ball side as the defending champions host their first ICC event in 29 years. Pakistan’s top-order batter, Fakhar Zaman, is confident of returning to international cricket after eight months when his country hosts the ICC Champions Trophy in February and March. “I was not part of the team because of my medical condition, but now I’m 100 percent sure I will play for Pakistan.” The veteran batter made headlines when he criticised the national cricket administration just before Babar Azam was controversially rested for the final two home Test matches against England late last year due to his inconsistent form in red-ball cricket. The main issue with is his fitness test that he was not able to clear.” In the absence of Fakhar, Pakistan won three away one-day international series over the last two months, beating Australia, Zimbabwe and South Africa under the captaincy of new white-ball captain Mohammad Rizwan. Back home, Fakhar returned to competitive cricket during the domestic Champions Cup T20 tournament last month and was the third highest-scorer with 303 runs in 10 games at a strike rate of 132.31.
