Pakistani fast bowler Haris Rauf is under unjustified criticism, especially as a result of Chief Selector Wahab Riaz’s comments on his decision to withdraw from Test cricket.
Rauf, who is presently competing in the National T20 Championship in Karachi, is hard at work on both mental and physical preparations for a triumphant comeback to Test cricket.
Despite making his international debut four years ago and being a prominent figure in the cricket world, Rauf has come under scrutiny, notably during this year’s World Cup campaign.
According to family members, he felt distressed by the unfair criticism he received, with even individuals with little knowledge of the sport doubting his form and wicket-taking performance in World Cup matches.
“Haris is upset with those who have unleashed undue criticism on the pacers during the World Cup campaign,” a close family insider said.
In a press conference, Chief Selector Wahab Riaz fueled the fire by claiming that Rauf initially committed to Test cricket but withdrew at the last minute, contradicting reports. Rauf’s decision revolved on worries about his fitness, calling the cricket board’s story into question.
Haris Rauf made his international debut in January 2020, however his Test cricket career is brief, with only one Test match against England scheduled for December 2022. Despite experiencing fitness concerns during that match, Rauf remains committed in his desire to return to Test cricket.
His present focus is on establishing peak mental and physical conditioning, laying the groundwork for a captivating return to the game’s longer format.
