Fakhar Zaman confident of returning for Pakistan at the Champions Trophy

Associated Press  

ISLAMABAD — Fakhar Zaman is confident of returning to international cricket after eight months when Pakistan hosts next month’s Champions Trophy. Fakhar hasn’t played international cricket since Pakistan’s first-round exit from the T20 World Cup last June and subsequently missed out on central contract with the Pakistan Cricket Board for the first time in eight years. “People don’t know that after the T20 World Cup I got sick,” Fakhar explained to the Vipers Voices podcast as he prepared to play ILT20 for Desert Vipers in the United Arab Emirates. “I was not part of the team because of my medical condition, but now 100% I will play for Pakistan.” The veteran opening batter made headlines when he criticized 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.
