On the other hand, Shaharyar praised Fawad's resilience and fighting qualities during his media conference at the National Stadium on Friday. “Some players who may not be that talented or God-gifted are still able to tackle the crisis. This is why I rate Fawad Alam very highly as a fighting cricketer,” the chairman had remarked. “There is no shortage of courage and fighting spirit in Fawad who has repeatedly done wonderfully in pressure situations since his comeback.”
Remarkably, the 28-year-old Fawad — who was sidelined for more than three years until he returned with a bang during the Asia Cup in Bangladesh last March — has not been part of the national T20 squad since December 2010 when he played the last of his 24 Internationals against New Zealand at Auckland.
