“I got rest after a long time so it will help me when I get back on the field. I’m physically fresh now and energy level is better than before," he said.

The series against the Blackcaps is an important one for the Men in Green, with the World Cup just around the corner. He believes that this series will be crucial in helping the team prepare for the tournament.

“We are not thinking about the fact that the New Zealand team doesn’t have renowned players. They still have players with international experience in their squad," said Haris.

The 29-year-old is also pleased with the depth Pakistan has in the fast bowling department, with new additions such as Ihsanullah providing more options. 

“The competition is increasing for fast bowlers and it’s good that we have backup in this department. Ihsanullah is also a good addition in our squad," he said.

“The cricketing world speaks very highly of Pakistan’s bowlers," he concluded.
