I thought to myself that I needed to be playing cricket at the highest domestic level and this may not be possible if I continued playing for NBP. This is the reason I joined Habib Bank in the 2016/2017 season.” It will worth mentioning here that his season with HBL was even better as he ended taking 28 wickets in 8 matches at Quaid-e-Azam Trophy.
