Under training at Muazullah Khan Cricket Academy, Cantt, this player is young in age but has strong intentions. He is paying full attention to his training and fitness.<br \/>\nIrfan Uddin Babu, Ashfaq Ahmed and Pervez are working very hard with Umair Khalil and have learned a lot about cricket from them. During the conversation with the media, Umair Khalil said in a very confident manner that his eyes are on international cricket and one day he will be a star for Pakistan in the cricketing world.<br \/>\n\u201cI am working hard and learning some keystrokes with every passing day from my coaches,\u201d Umair Khalil said. Working hard and commitment to his goal are somehow key to my commitment with the game of cricket, the all-rounder Umair Khalil said.<br \/>\nHe is very skilled in batting, bowling and fielding, a PCB qualified coach Ashfaq Ahmad said when asked to comment about Umair Khalil. He says that he has full faith in his hard work, Allah willing, his hard work will pay off one day.<br \/>\nIt is time to look at a few youngsters in the Maazullah Khan Cricket Academy who could be looking to make their mark on the national scene once more. A right-handed batsman who also offers a slow right-arm option with the ball, Umair Khalil was famous among his Academymates as a hard hitting player.<br \/>\n\u201cIt\u2019s no surprise to see how he came in and played so beautifully. He\u2019s got a very good technique on our fast bouncy wickets. He\u2019s fresh and skilled with his straight bat,\u201d Pervez Khan said.<br \/>\n\u201cI am working with every upcoming cricketer but saw Umair full of commitment toward his game,\u201d Pervez Khan said.<br \/>\n\u201cHe is the one individual that came into every net session and played all of our quicks. For me, that was like facing speedsters with great confidence as if you could face those bowlers, and you\u2019re playing well, you knew you had a great chance of making runs in the actual game,\u201d Ashfaq Ahmad said. \u201cReally it comes down to just that sense of belief and that purpose. It\u2019s one of the few versions of our sport where it\u2019s not just a test of skill sets under pressure but it\u2019s also a test of innovation,\u201d Irfan Uddin Babu said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Star in making PESHAWAR A star in making well illustrated on Umair Khalil, a promising budding young cricketer eyed international cricket and is hopeful of making a unique place in the world of cricket for which he is working hard like the one Babar Azam has.
