Saim keen on learning from cricket legends

Young opener discusses the flexibility required in his role within the team

Pakistan's emerging cricketerSaim Ayub has revealed his approach to the game and his thoughts on role models within the cricketing world.

The young batting sensation, who has been making waves with impressive performances, spoke candidly about his role in the team and his approach to learning from the sport's greats.

During the media conference, Ayub discussed the flexibility required in his role within the team.

"Player doesn't have control over their role. Whatever role the team management assigns me, I try my best to fulfil it," Saim said.

The opening batter offered a thoughtful perspective when asked about his cricketing idols.

"I have never made any one player my role model. Considering the number of legends we have had, I think it would be unfair to pick just one as a favourite because each one has its own unique qualities. I observe everyone and try to learn from all of them," he said.

Pakistan's road ahead is quite busy as the cricket calendar heats up.

The first four-day match between Pakistan Shaheens and Bangladesh-A will be held at the Islamabad Club from August 13 to August 16. The second four-day match will run from August 20 to August 23.

Next, Pakistan faces Bangladesh in a series where the first Test will take place at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium from August 21 to August 25, followed by the second Test in Karachi from August 30 to September 3.
