Pakistani fast bowler Haris Rauf has expressed a strong ambition to feature in the national squad for the upcoming Test series against Sri Lanka, reaffirming his commitment to playing red-ball cricket at the highest level.
Key Highlights
- Haris Rauf sets his sights on red-ball selection for Pakistan’s Test series against Sri Lanka.
- The express pacer aims to establish himself as a key all-format bowler for the national team.
- Inclusion will hinge on workload management and fitness assessments by the selection board.
Known primarily for his fierce pace and match-winning spells in white-ball cricket, Rauf is eager to translate his limited-overs success into the Test arena. Despite previous concerns regarding his physical workload and limited red-ball experience, the paceman remains confident in his fitness and rhythm.
