Karachi: Left-arm spinner Nauman Ali is confident of giving his best if given chance against South Africa in the two-match Test series.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hailing from Khipro in the Sanghar district, Nauman said that he would forever enjoy the moment when Northern’s team manager told him about his\u00a0inclusion in the preliminary squad.<\/p>\n

“If given a chance, I will give my best. Even if I get two or three wickets and that helps the team\u2019s cause then definitely it would be a proud moment for me,” Nauman said while taking in a virtual presser on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

“I was busy at a practice session and in the meantime, our [Northern] team manager came\u00a0towards me and said that\u00a0I had been selected. For 10 minutes, I didn’t know how to react as it stills feels like a dream,” he added.<\/p>\n

The 34-year-old revealed that he idolized legends like\u00a0Wasim Akram and Brian Lara in early days but then looked up to\u00a0Daniel Vettori and Rangana Herath.<\/p>\n

“Test spinner Daniel Vettori and Rangana Herath are my role model as I’m a left-arm spinner. I admired their bowling and the way they performed at the highest level,” he added.<\/p>\n

Note, Nauman was named in the 20-member preliminary squad for Tests against South Africa after his brilliant performances in domestic cricket. He picked 61 wickets in 10 matches in Quaid-e-Azam Trophy 2020.<\/p>\n

Both teams have arrived in Karachi as the first Test scheduled to take place at National Stadium from January 26.<\/p>\n
