Pakistan may recall Mushtaq
LONDON, Sept 18: Pakistan’s spinner Mushtaq Ahmed would like to return to English cricket county Sussex next summer after reaching 100 wickets for the season against Leicestershire.
And while he hopes his excellent form will earn a Test recall with Pakistan, Mushtaq is also hoping to enjoy another campaign at Sussex.
“I would like to be back for two years,” he said. “I expect us to have a meeting about it some time during this match.”
Meanwhile, Pakistan may recall leg spinner Mushtaq Ahmed following his record-breaking feats for English county Sussex this season.
“He has taken lot of wickets for Sussex in the county championship and we can’t ignore that,” chief selector Aamir Sohail said on Thursday.
“But he has been out for a long time and we need to see if he is bowling well enough to be pitted against South Africa.”
The 33-year-old Mushtaq, who played the last of his 50 Tests against New Zealand in 2001, became on Wednesday the first bowler to take 100 wickets in an English county championship season since 1998.
Sohail said Mushtaq would play against the South Africans in a one-day practice game in Karachi on Sept 24.—Agencies
