Pakistan cricketer, Umar Amin, who is also a consistent performer in domestic cricket, has expressed his belief in making a comeback to the Pakistan national team. 

Drawing inspiration from Fawad Alam's remarkable return to international cricket after more than a decade, Amin remains optimistic despite the challenges he faces.

In an exclusive interview with Cricket Pakistan, Amin reflected on his determination to return to the national squad. 

“If I didn’t believe in this, I wouldn’t even be playing domestic cricket right now. The goal has always been to make a comeback and play for Pakistan,” Amin said.

Amin, who last played a Test match for Pakistan in August 2010 against England, sees Fawad Alam as a role model for perseverance. 

“I’ve played a lot of cricket with Fawad Bhai, and he’s an example in front of me because he made a comeback after a long time. He also had consistent performances. So, I am very hopeful based on my good performances. My focus is just to give the best performance I can, do what is within my control, and not think too much about what’s beyond my control.”

Despite his strong performances, including a recent 177-run knock against Bangladesh A, Amin revealed that there has been no communication with the selectors regarding his future with the national team.
