“ILT20 gave me everything,” Hyder accepted. “I was the best bowler in the development tournament of ILT20, then became an ‘Emerging Player’ in the first season. I also bowled well in the last season, and from there, I was selected for the national team. It is a huge platform – not only for local players but also international.

I am learning a lot from him and hope to absorb more in future. ,

Appropriately adapted to dew factor in UAE’s night matches, they adapted in a unique way. “I fill a bucket with water, soak 30-40 balls in it and bowl with them during practice. So when the actual match is, I do not find any difference. I bowl 20-30 overs in a day-because to defeat a Test-playing nation, you have to go extra miles. ,He said, “My goal is clear – I have now reached this level and I never want to leave down.
