KARACHI
\nFast bowler Rumman Raees has set his eyes on \u201crestarting\u201d his career with a notable performance for his new team, the Multan Sultans, in the seventh edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL).
\nRaees, who remained in-and-out as a player due to injury, was named as a bowling consultant by Islamabad United in the previous season of PSL, which cast doubts on his future as a player, but he made a comeback this season and has now been picked by Multan Sultans as a cricketer in the PSL draft.
\nRumman said in an exclusive interview that this PSL is very important for his career and he\u2019s looking forward to relaunching himself as a player.
\n\u201cThis is very important for me and I am very much looking forward to giving my best. I\u2019ve worked really hard on my fitness in the last two years and played domestic cricket this season, I will try that all my efforts don\u2019t go in vain, \u201che said.
\n\u201cI am thankful that I\u2019m coming back to a top-level sport as a cricketer, and I am all set for this,\u201d he said.
\nThe 30-year-old revealed that being named as bowling consultant for Islamabad United was an opportunity given to him by the franchise to work on rehab while being in a cricketing environment.
\nIt was a very important decision for me. It allowed me to stay in the dressing room and work on my fitness, \u201che said.
\n\u201cUnited management told me that I could share my experience with youngsters and, simultaneously, I could work on my rehab with the team\u2019s physio, and it really helped me. The physio worked hard on my injury and shared some tips which proved to be very important for me and have made me fitter than before,\u201d Raees revealed.
\nReplying to a question, Rumman agreed that he\u2019ll miss the environment of Islamabad United, but that changing franchises is part and parcel of a player\u2019s career.
\n\u201cI am looking forward to giving my 100% for the Multan Sultans,\u201d he said.
\nThe fast bowler, who has represented Pakistan in 9 ODIs and 8 T20Is, said that he hasn\u2019t set any overly ambitious goals for himself as it could only put extra pressure on him.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am very clear about it, I want to be relaxed in the field instead of taking pressure from what I set for myself. Everyone wants to be on top, that\u2019s the other thing, but for me, I just want to enjoy my cricket,\u201d he mentioned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
