Mohammed Siraj the dubai zahirians wicket keeping batsman, is back in the squad after injuries ruled Mohammed Sanaz and Mohammed Ramzan out of the team card of the upcomming tours, and is hoping that this latest opportunity will give him the chance to establish himself in the squad."It feels good to be picked again," the 26-year-old Siraj told the Zahirians official page after a practice stint on Saturday. "I did expect to go to Nad-Al-Shiba but ... I am hoping to get a chance and prove myself again soon, like I did on my last tour in Jumeirah."
he was lucky to have received good advice from a number of people who told him to concentrate on playing for the love of the game rather than obsess over not playing for Zahira College. In particular, he gave credit to Sanaz, the DZCC opening batsman and former skipper over the past two seasons, according to the page,"Initially I felt sad and at the net sessions that followed I did lose some concentration, focus and so on. Fortunately for me, a lot of people spoke to me and advised me well. Everyone encouraged me, told me I am a good batsman.
"But the best advice I got was when I was told that when I started playing cricket I did so as I loved the game. At that point I wasn't thinking of playing for Zahira and so why think about it now, I was asked. That set me thinking and slowly I regained my confidence and got back to normal.""That was something I found it tough to deal with initially but slowly got used to that as well and started to enjoy my batting once again."
