Derby: Middle-order batter Sohaib Maqsood is confident to play ‘fearless cricket’ for Pakistan just like he has been playing for last year or so in domestic cricket.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 34-year-old Sohaib is making his comeback after 5.5 years in the national team. Sohaib is ready to bat at any given position.<\/p>\n

“A player batting at your position in international cricket has right to bat there. It’s not necessary to bat at the same spot as him. I have batted lower down the order in PSL too and have performed. For team whichever number I am asked to play, I’ll be available and try to give my hundred percent,” Sohaib told reporters in a virtual presser.<\/p>\n

“My mindset was fearless in domestic cricket and I will look to play in the same manner. There would be no regret if I’m unable to perform and it won’t affect my life too. The chances of performing with a fearless mind would be more rather than playing with a fear,” he opined.<\/p>\n

It must be noted that Sohaib was the star performer for Sultans in PSL 6 and the performances paved his way for a comeback in the national side.<\/p>\n

He scored 428 runs in 12 matches at a strike rate of 157 whereas he bagged \u2018player of the final\u2019 and \u2018best batsman of the tournament\u2019 awards.<\/p>\n

Remember, Sohaib replaced Haider Ali for series against England and West Indies.<\/p>\n
