Karachi: Uncapped off-spinner Sajid Khan has full confidence in his abilities and is positive of deceiving batsman without bowling ‘Doosra’.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 27-year-old Sajid, who has been named in the 20-member squad for South Africa Tests, revealed Mohammad Hafeez and Saqlain Mushtaq as his role models.<\/p>\n

“My goal from U16 cricket was to become an off-spinner who can dominate without bowling doosra. We have a few examples in Nathan Lyon and Graeme Swann who deceives batters with their variations,” he said\u00a0while talking to reporters in a virtual presser.<\/p>\n

“I look to Mohammad Hafeez as a role model and Saqlain Bhai as an off-spinner. I also watch videos of Lyon and Swann but mostly Hafeez and Saqlain are my role models,” he revealed.<\/p>\n

Sajid has no worries if he is not named in the last 16 for the first Test as he feels that being named in the 20-member squad is itself a big thing for him and his family.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, right-handed batsman Salman Ali Agha shared his jubilation after getting selected in the side for the Test series.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old said that now there is hope for domestic performers after nine uncapped players were named in the squad.<\/p>\n

“I performed in domestic cricket and has been rewarded too. Most of the performers of this year’s domestic cricket are named in the squad and now there is a ray of hope among players that their performances will be appreciated,” Salman added.<\/p>\n

Salman, who scored 941 runs in Quaid-e-Azam Trophy 2020-21, revealed Mohammad Yousuf as his role model.<\/p>\n
