Pakistan fast bowler Umar Gul, who was out of action due to recurring knee injury, has expressed that his sole aim is to make a strong comeback into the national side.
In an interview to local media, “I suppose when I got my knee injury in 2013 is when my form dropped but that is all behind me now,” said Gul. “I am feeling much better and have already taken 23 wickets in 5 matches in the current edition of the Quaid-e-Azam trophy. My sole aim is to make a strong comeback for Pakistan with good rhythm and some good domestic performances under my belt and I feel that I am making good progress towards that goal”.
However, Gul also expressed his views on tainted bowler Mohammad Amir’s comeback. He said it would be unfair for other players, who are performing well if Amir makes a comeback.
Gul, who was sidelined for nine months after sustaining an ankle injury in March 2013 during the second One-Day International against South Africa. Umar Gul originally shot to fame in Test matches when he took 6 for 96 against arch-rivals India in 2004.
Umar appeared in 47 Test matches and claimed 163 wickets, while he has featured in 126 ODIs and bagged 173 wickets for Pakistan.
