Asif eyeing Test series against Kiwis
Lahore | Thursday, Nov 5 2009 IST
 

Gearing up for a Test comeback after nearly two years, dope-tainted pacer Mohammad Asif said he would try and make up for the lost time in the series against New Zealand later this month. Asif made a comeback to the national team in the Champions Trophy playing just one game against Australia after completing a 12-month ban for failing a dope test in the Indian Premier League (IPL) last year.

Asif has been picked for the three-Test series against New Zealand starting November 24.

''I have not played in New Zealand but have heard a lot about the pitches and conditions there and hopefully if I can get a chance I will make an impact,'' Asif said.

''The key is to focus on just cricket and try to make up for lost time.

''There is nothing better for a bowler then to bowl in the longer version of the game,'' he added.
