Pakistan’s opening batsman Fakhar Zaman has suggested that his country look firm favourites to win the next edition of ICC Cricket World Cup, which is scheduled to be played in 2019 in England.
Speaking to Sky Sports Fakhar said, “The current Pakistan team combination is brilliant and the results we have recently produced are the good proof of that.
We will travel to England to win the title and not just to make up the numbers. I do feel that it is right for us to be labelled favourites for the 2019 World Cup as our team will be well equipped for this tournament.”
Keeping in mind the upcoming Asia Cup, Fakhar said Pakistan must take one tournament at a time and their current concern should be the 50-over multi-country tournament, which will be played in the UAE.
“At the moment, I am fully focused on doing well in the upcoming Asia Cup. Of course, the 2019 World Cup is an important tournament, but it’s far too early for me to start planning for it as there are other international assignments to take care of before that tournament.
Regardless of which team I play against, the fact is that Test cricket is one format that provides the ultimate test of skills for a player and to perform well in this form of the game is my dream,” he added.
“When that opportunity does arrive, I will do my best. While I could not debut in Tests during the recent tour of Ireland and England, I learnt a lot from that tour and also worked very hard on my batting technique, which I feel will help me in Tests. I do not know what the future holds for me in Test cricket but I can confidently say that I am continuing to prepare well and will be ready if I am given a chance,” the southpaw said.
