After heartfelt discussions with my family and well-wishers, I unequivocally announce my readiness to be considered for the upcoming T20 World Cup.
My allegiance to my country supersedes personal ambitions. The honor of representing Pakistan and serving my nation has always been, and will forever be, my paramount ambition.”
