Middle-order batter Mohammad Suleman aspires to join Pakistan team

Mohammad Suleman, a middle-order batter from the Champions Cup team Dolphins, has expressed his desire to represent Pakistan in all formats of cricket.  

In an interview with a local news channel, Suleman shared his aspirations, saying, “Every player dreams of playing for Pakistan. I am ready to work hard in whichever format I get an opportunity.”  

The young batter admires Pakistan's captain Babar Azam and draws inspiration from his batting style. 

“I follow Babar Azam a lot. I observe how he builds innings. I love his cover drives and Younis Khan's sweeps. I used to watch Younis in the early days,” he added.  

Suleman also praised former captain Sarfaraz Ahmed for his leadership qualities, emphasizing how Sarfaraz creates a friendly environment for junior players and instills confidence in the team.  

Speaking about his peers, Suleman said, “Mohammad Hurira is like a close friend to me. I learned a lot from him during Pakistan Shaheens matches. I also had the chance to learn from Saud Shakeel during our time together in camps.”  

Reflecting on his recent performances, Suleman acknowledged the challenges posed by the pitches in the latest first-class season.

“The pitches were quite challenging, but I had a good season. Playing red-ball cricket helps players adapt to different formats because it teaches you to handle varied pitches and situations,” he concluded.
