ISLAMABAD: Right-handed middle-order batter Sohaib Maqsood has all the confidence to make it to Pakistan's T20I squad. 

Speaking to his fans via Twitter space, Maqsood said his career has been marred by injuries but he now feels completely fit to make comeback to the national team. 

"Last year, injury halted my T20 World Cup participation otherwise selectors had a long-term plan to continue with me," shared Maqsood. 

"I believe I should be in Pakistan's T20 team. Before T20 World Cup this year, I will play 20 matches. My focus will be to win matches for my team in domestic cricket and then make my way through to the national team," he said. 

Maqsood made his international cricket debut in 2013. He scored a fifty on his ODI debut against South Africa. Since then, he remained in and out of the team more often. 

The 35-years-old cricketer complained about not getting a chance to play on natural number in the national team. "You don't often get a chance to play on your natural number. Sometimes it creates problems for you especially when you give performance on certain batting numbers in domestic cricket," he said. 

"But, you have to be ready for any number when it comes to national team. I have worked on my fitness and performance and I am confident to make a strong comeback," he expressed.
