DUBAI: Former Pakistan captain and opener Saeed Anwar said that he was glad to have been a part of one of Pakistan’s best sides.
In an interview with ICC World Radio Show, Anwar said that he had no regrets and enjoyed his time playing for Pakistan immensely.
“I have no regrets from whatever cricket I played and I enjoyed it thoroughly. The good thing about my career was not about individual performances but collectively Pakistan won a lot which is the most satisfying part. The most memorable thing for me was that I played in an era when Pakistan had its best-ever side,” Anwar said.
Saeed, who played 55 Tests and 247 ODIs between 1989 and 2003, said:
“I don’t see any value in batsmen making big runs, establishing records but not winning matches for their sides. Pakistan and India should be praised for providing joy and entertainment to world cricket”
Anwar stated that the best teams in his era were India and Australia and he was fortunate to have scored against both sides.
“A player should play such an innings that his side should win. I really rate Brian Lara and Ricky Ponting very high because whenever they have scored runs, their teams have mostly won,” said Anwar who started his career in 1990.
