It is just half dream fulfilled as still, I have to make it into the 16 members for South Africa series,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I want to make it clear, I will not leave playing cricket even If I don&#8217;t get a chance here. Cricket is my biggest passion and my dream is to represent Pakistan in Tests,&#8221; he maintained.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the 36-years-old pacer, who has 598 First-Class wickets, described that moment when he was named in the preliminary squad for the Test series against South Africa.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I got a congratulatory call from my friend. He told me that I got selected for the 20-members squad and I couldn&#8217;t believe him. I thought he was making fun but he asked me to tune into the news channel and watch,&#8221; he recalled.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At that time my family was going out somewhere. I went to my mother and asked her to wait for a while as my name was announced for the Test squad as per my friend. At my request, my mother stayed with me, and when my name appeared in the last, I can&#8217;t tell you about my feelings. My mother and brother went into prostration and thanked Allah for this. Now, I hope to get a chance in the 16-members squad,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Read:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/arysports.tv\/remembrance-late-father-tabish-khan-breaks-down-tears-fifer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">In remembrance of late father, Tabish Khan breaks down in tears after taking fifer<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Karachi: First-class performer Tabish Khan said he is not too far away from making his Test debut, the biggest dream of his life.\u00a0 Speaking to <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/?p=24346\" title=\"\u2018It\u2019s half dream fulfilled\u2019 Khan confident for Test debut at 36\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24346"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=24346"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24346\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24348,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24346\/revisions\/24348"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=24346"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=24346"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=24346"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
