Aamer Jamal opens up about being ignored for T20 World Cup 2024

Pakistan all-rounder Aamer Jamal revealed he couldn't sleep after watching Pakistan's loss to the USA in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024.

Speaking to a cricket website, Jamal, who last played for Pakistan in January, confirmed he was deeply affected by the defeat.

"I couldn't sleep that night [after the loss]," Jamal said.

He also addressed his omission from the national team after the T20I series against New Zealand, stating he wasn't disappointed and remains focused on playing cricket.

"No, I'm not disappointed that I'm not in the team. First time I got disappointed after making my debut, I was dropped from the team without any reason. Like I hadn't performed it was fine but still I took it rather positively after some time. My job is to play Cricket and perform in whatever platform I'm provided with," he said.

"Selection is not in my hands, if it is written for me I will get it no matter what stage it is. So I always believe in playing good cricket, perform well. Selection is up to the selectors," he concluded.
