Former Pakistan speedster Junaid Khan has represented the country in all three formats of cricket. But he could manage to impress in a few games only against West Indies, although he has played 76 ODIs, 22 Tests, and nine T20Is for the Pakistan cricket team as well.

However, he made headlines when he managed to dismiss the big fish Virat Kohli during the historical ODI series between India and Pakistan in late 2012. But due to his injuries, he became irregular in the team since 2015 and he last played in 2019 and after that, he announced his retirement from international cricket. Meanwhile, he still plays in domestic cricket and picked wickets regularly as well.

Recently, in an interview, Junaid Khan shared his choice between two great batsmen in world cricket right now – Pakistan captain Babar Azam and India captain Virat Kohli. He also revealed the difference between the Pakistan Super League (PSL) and the Indian Premier League (IPL). However, Junaid Khan has also named his favourite Pakistani bowler as well.

It started with the question of what he would be if not a cricketer, to which he replied “a businessman”. Later, he said that former India opener Virender Sehwag is the batsman whom he liked getting out. He also shared his thought about Babar Azam and Virat Kohli where he said that according to his opinion at this point they both are outstanding players.

While talking about his all-time favourite bowler, Junaid Khan named the Pakistan legend Wasim Akram. However, he named Shaheen Afridi and Hasan Ali among the current group as well. However, he also named Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah when he was given the option to chose between Jasprit Bumrah and Pat Cummins. Moreover, he backed PSL over IPL being a Pakistani as he said in the interview while many of his former teammates believe IPL is better.

However, when he was asked one cricket rule that he would like to change, Junaid Khan said: “In one day cricket, after 30-32 overs old balls used to be given. That rule should be re-introduced. It helps in reverse swing and we should have one ball only.”
