Pakistan’s aggressive opening batsman Mukhtar Ahmed is clearly upset with the Pakistan Super League (PSL) as he has expressed his disappointment and surprise that he has not yet played a single game in the league.

Expressing his disappointment, the batsman told Pakpassion, “I feel that I have missed too much cricket of late for various reasons but I want to put all that behind me and play regularly in all formats.”

“I am only 24 but I've been around in domestic cricket for over 5 years, so I have a lot of experience. It's now time for me to settle down and prove my critics wrong and show maturity,” the site quoted Mukhtar.

The Sialkot-born scored heavily during the National T20 Cup at an impressive average of 43.57 in seven matches. He was the third highest runs scorer during the domestic tournament with 305.

Speaking about PSL, he said, “It's very disappointing and surprising that I've not played a single match in the league, as that is the format that I am well known in. I hoped that this time I would be picked in the Pakistan Super League and be given a chance to show what I can do on the big stage, but sadly that did not happen.”

“I've been very happy with my form during the National T20 Cup. I've felt confident and have been striking the ball well. It's not easy to score a century in the T20 format and I was really pleased with my 117 against Karachi Whites. I've been hitting the ball cleanly during this tournament and when you do that it gives you confidence and a lot of self-belief,” he added.

Mukhtar was playing of FATA during the National T20 Cup which lost the semi-final against Lahore.
