“I definitely feel like there is more to come from me in First Class and Test cricket. I have done okay in the white-ball game recently, but I really want to prove myself in Test cricket, so I will be doing my best to achieve my goals in this format,” said Azam, quoted Somerset website.

Azam is currently representing the Somerset cricket county at the Vitality Blast, and has been the tournament’s leading run scorer with 434 runs in nine games, including a fabulous knock of 102 not out.
