Young pace sensation Naseem Shah is keen on making a mark in limited-overs cricket, after a successful start to his Test career.

Naseem Shah is the youngest Test bowler in history to take a fifer and a hat-trick in consecutive Tests against Sri Lanka and Bangladesh in Karachi and Rawalpindi, respectively.

The rookie pacer, while speaking in a podcast by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), is eager for an opportunity in One-day International (ODI) and Twenty20 International (T20I) format for the Men in Green.

"One year of back injury was a difficult time. I doubted myself a little after I wasn't able to perform during the Test series in Australia. However, I kept giving my 100 per cent and worked really hard to make a comeback in the following Test matches," said Naseem.

"Test cricket is the toughest format. If you have the required fitness for Tests, then ODI and T20I cricket become easier. I am ready to perform in limited-overs cricket like Tests, whenever I'm given an opportunity," he added.
