It also depends on the city you belong to. If you belong to a big city, then people raise voice for you,&#8221; he said in an interview to the CricketPakistan website.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I used to be part of the national team in all three formats. I used to ask for rest but I wasn&#8217;t given rest. Then came a time when I got in the bad books and was being ignored due to likes and dislikes. I was performing but was not being given a proper chance,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Junaid is confident of making comeback in the Pakistan team. &#8220;I have played around 120 matches for Pakistan, but I feel disappointed because I could have played around 200 matches till now,&#8221; he maintained.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am playing in domestic and you can still make a comeback in Pakistan team even if you are 35 or 36 years old if you are in the good books of selectors. I am working on my fitness and improving my skills,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Read:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/arysports.tv\/junaid-khan-aims-try-luck-politics-cricket\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Junaid Khan aims to try his luck in politics after cricket<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Karachi: Discarded left-arm pacer Junaid Khan thinks players in Pakistan cricket remain uncertain about their future, blaming most of them get a proper run in <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/?p=67837\" title=\"\u2018Players get proper chance in Pakistan if close to coach, captain\u2019 Junaid Khan\">[&#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\/67837"}],"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=67837"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67837\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":67839,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67837\/revisions\/67839"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=67837"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=67837"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=67837"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
