He visibly fought with the injury for a 41 balls 24, since Pakistan crashed into a 60 -run defeat. Fakhar was distressed in the locker room after the dismissal and, given the uncertainty that surrounds his arrival on the side, and that he turns 35 in April, the fact that he could have been his last game for Pakistan was not lost.
But speaking with Digital PCB, Fakhar confirmed that he will not go anywhere. “I heard about this [retirement rumours] A lot and even my friends sent me a message about it, but there is nothing, “Fakhar said.” The hate format is my favorite format. Yes, with my thyroid, there was something that could take more time to do it again. But I want to play T20, hate, even tests again. With regard to my return, I talked to the doctor and I can start playing the Cricket again within the month. “
Fakhar had not played International Cricket since the 2024 T20 World Cup last June in the United States and Antilles, where Pakistan was eliminated in the group stage. The last time he played a hate in the ODI 2023 World Cup, another event where Pakistan came out before the qualifying stages.
However, in the period prior to this tournament, it had been left out of Pakistan’s central contracts. And he had also issued a exhibition cause warning after a tweet that he presented last September criticizing the decision to leave Babar Azam on the side of the test. Later, when President Mohsin Naqvi organized a “connection camp” so that the upper players transmit their views, Fakhar was one of the most open, highlighting a senior official for particularly trenches criticism.
That seems to be in the past for now, with Fakhar committing to a return with Pakistan. “The doctor has advised me to start training again in three weeks. So I think I should play the Crick in a month.”
Pakistan had already lost Saim Ayub due to an injury before the tournament and the subsequent loss of Fakhar was a double blow that coach Aaqib Javed identified as one of the fundamental reasons for his poor demonstration. Fakhar has a professional attack rate of almost 94 in Odi and was clear how to play in the modern game.
“The most important thing is the situation. If 150-200 executions are chasing, it enters with a different mentality and if you are chasing 350, it has a different mentality. But the strike rate is important, especially these days. And you must play the risky Cricket.
