Discarded opening batter Ahmad Shahzad aims to make a comeback in the Pakistan team.
Shahzad is currently working hard on his fitness and game while doing training sessions at the National Cricket Academy (NCA).
Speaking to reporters today, Shahzad said he is working on his game to find his way to the national team.
"I am working hard to make comeback in the national team. In the future, there are leagues too, I am making myself ready enough to participate," he said.
Shahzad trains for hours at the NCA. Moreover, he also does gym session to gain strength.
