The Pakistan opener Fakhar Zaman scored two successive tons in the concluded ODI series against South Africa, and beat the hosts by 2-1 score. Zaman had 193 and 102 runs respectively and used former captain Muhammad Hafeez’s bat in the series. After his performance, Zaman was named as the player of the series and he has been made part of the T20 squad though is unsure whether he would be joining the squad or not.
The player though shared it would be a great learning experience to open with Sharjeel Khan in the upcoming T20I squad against South Africa and Zimbabwe. Four T20I matches have been scheduled between Pakistan and South Africa currently. Zaman also said even if he is not allowed to open any position would be a good opportunity for him to start.
