Azam Khan ecstatic after getting maiden call-up for Pakistan

Rookie batsman Azam Khan is ecstatic after getting selected in Pakistan T20I squad for England and West Indies tour.

While speaking in a video released by the Quetta Gladiators, Azam revealed how he received the aforementioned news and his initial reaction.

"I was having breakfast when Nabeel [Quetta’s Media Manager] bhai told me about my selection for Pakistan T20I squad. At first I thought he was joking. Then, I left my breakfast and straight away went to my father [Moin Khan] and that was an emotional movie moment," chuckled Azam.

"I wasn’t expecting to be selected so early. I am happy because my hard work for the past year has paid off," he added.

"I will have to increase my efforts because I want to be a consistent member of Pakistan team," he added.
