Pakistan’s off-spinner Sajid Khan is ecstatic after making his debut in the first Test against Zimbabwe in Harare.

The 27-year-old was the highest wicket-taker during the last season of Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, first-class competition, with 67 wickets in 11 matches.  

“First of all thanks to Allah Almighty. Obviously, I’m very happy because there is a lot of hard work behind this. I can’t express my happiness in words that I’m representing Pakistan team,” said Sajid in a video released by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB)’s official YouTube channel.

“I want to take Pakistan to victory by taking as many wickets as possible,” he added.
