The 40-year-old said that he is not too bothered by critics who are gunning for his retirement
Pakistan veteran cricketer Shoaib Malik has claimed that age is just a number and said that everyone has backed him to play more.
In an exclusive interview with Cricket Pakistan, the 40-year-old said that he is not too bothered by critics who are gunning for his retirement.
“Despite my age, no one can claim that I am a liability. I have performed at the highest level – especially in the T20 format –and I have shown my worth with the ball, with the bat, and especially in the field,” said Malik.
“I am thoroughly enjoying my cricket right now because I am utilising all my experience and intensity during the games,” he added.
Malik, who finished as the fourth-highest run-scorer in the HBL Pakistan Super League (PSL) season seven, said that being a middle-over batter he has to rely more on his fitness as opposed to openers.
