Inzamam heads for England

Published June 26, 2003

KARACHI, June 25: Prolific Pakistan batsman Inzamam-ul-Haq is ready to play league cricket in England to try to salvage his international career.

“Since there is no domestic cricket being played in Pakistan, the only way I can satisfy the selectors about my fitness is to play some league cricket,” Inzamam told Reuters on Wednesday.

“I have contacted some league clubs in England through my Pakistan team mates who are in England. Hopefully, I should be active in league cricket by early July,” he said.

The 33-year-old was one of the eight senior players axed from the Pakistan team following the World Cup in which he scored just 19 runs in six matches.—Reuters
