The 10th season of the Pakistan Super League came to an end earlier this month, with Islamabad United winning a tight summit clash. The tournament was the last piece of T20 action for Pakistan’s players ahead of back-to-back bilateral series New Zealand and England.

These series will be vital in order for Pakistan to pick their best squad for the T20 World Cup, set to kick off in June in the West Indies and USA. Their preparations for the tournament include a training camp with the army getting underway in April.
A couple of players selected in the squad are Mohammed Amir and Imad Wasim, who reversed their international retirements in order to make themselves available. But on Saturday, yet another former Pakistan player announced his decision to return to cricket.
When did Imran Nazir retire? Is he available to play for Pakistan again?
Former opening batter Imran Nazir said in a conversation with GeoNews on Saturday, that he was open to returning to the cricket field at the age of 42. He said,
I have decided to return to cricket again. So while I can’t play at the highest level, since I have been out of cricket for a long time, it will take me some time to get fit, I understand and I believe that if I improve my fitness and cricket skills, if I work for a month, I can play good cricket.

There is virtually no chance of Nazir making the Pakistan squad for the T20 World Cup, but it would be a huge achievement for him to return to any level of the professional game at this age. He last played for Pakistan in 2012 and despite not formally announcing it, is considered to be retired.
He made his Test and ODI debuts for Pakistan in 1999, at the age of just 17. He would go on to play just eight red-ball matches for Pakistan, but in 79 ODIs he amassed nearly 1900 runs at a strike rate of 81. He found a home in the T20 format, and is remembered for his blistering 33 off 14 balls against India in the 2007 T20 World Cup final.
