Arthur: Sohail Khan's chances of making international comeback are slim

It was just a couple of months back we saw Sohail Khan playing for Pakistan, when he played the three-T20I series against ICC World XI at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. He has been in and out of the Pakistan squad for quite bit, and has been unable to cement his place in the side. Meanwhile, Pakistan coach Mickey Arthur feels that although Sohail has matured as a cricketer, it is too late for him to make an international comeback, as there are plenty of youngsters who are displaying stellar show for the side at present. Sohail Khan clears air over relationship with Mickey Arthur

On Sohail making an international comeback

“The systems might have failed him long ago, but if 10 years ago he had done what he is doing right now, then who knows how big an international player he would have become. But I keep telling him that he is 34-years-old now while we have got many younger players who are playing really good cricket at 23 and 24 years of age. Unfortunately, that is the harsh truth. I and Sohail enjoy good relations and I admire the hard work Sohail has been doing. He has altered his mindset and has been bowling well,” said Arthur, as reported by Dawn.
