NEW DELHI: Eager to regain his spot ahead of the T20 World Cup, seasoned Pakistan allrounder Shadab Khan is targeting the Big Bash League as the stage to showcase his form and fitness after spending nearly six weeks on the sidelines with a chronic shoulder injury.The 27-year-old vice-captain underwent surgery in London to address the recurring problem and has been absent from international cricket ever since."Australia is one of the toughest places to play any level of cricket and If I can reproduce form and prove my fitness I think it will go a long way in convincing the selectors I am ready for international cricket again," Shadab, who will be playing for Sydney Thunders, said during a virtual media talk.The spin-bowling allrounder also pointed out that this is the first time such a large contingent of Pakistani players will feature in the Big Bash League, which kicks off on Sunday."It has created a lot of interest because remember we lost in the final of the 2022 World T20 Cup in Australia. Plus there is a very big Pakistani and Asian expatriate community in Australia," he said.Shadab said while Pakistani players regularly compete in the Pakistan Super League and domestic tournaments at home, playing against each other in a foreign league would be fascinating.Babar Azam, Shaheen Shah Afridi and Muhammad Rizwan are all appearing in the Big Bash for the first time, while Shadab, Hasan Ali and Haris Rauf have played in the league in the past.(With PTI Inputs)
