CARDIFF: Star Pakistani all-rounder Shoaib Malik vows to make his 250th one-day international “memorable” when he takes on Sri Lanka in their final ICC Champions Trophy group match against Sri Lanka at Cardiff on Monday.

The former skipper of Pakistan has been a key performer for the man in green since making his comeback in 2015 and would be the team’s linchpin against Angelo Mathews and co.

Malik admitted he was pumped up for the big occasion. “To be honest, I didn’t know about the milestone,” Malik told ARY news.

“I am always committed to the team’s cause and if that is a milestone for me definitely I would like to make it memorable.”

Malik said he felt satisfied over his career.

“Yes, when you do well, you look behind its satisfying,” said Malik.

“Now my role is different and I am given the task to finish the game at number five so I am ready to do what the captain and coach wants me to do.”

Malik has scored 6742 runs with nine hundreds and 39 fifties in the 50-over format. He also has bagged 153 wickets with his off-spin bowling.
