Maqsood has been in fine form and recently helped Multan Sultans to a convincing victory over Peshawar Zalmi, scoring 61 off 31 balls. Maqsood revealed that batting alongside captain, Mohammad Rizwan, helped as he guided him throughout the innings.
“When I walked out to bat, the skipper asked me to take the game as deep as possible. “He [Rizwan] asked me not to take unnecessary risk. When only 30 or odd runs were remaining in reaching the target, we decided to accelerate to improve our run-rate which will be the key to qualify in the playoffs.” Maqsood said.
The 34-year old said that he has been training really hard for the past year and his training sessions at National High-Performance Center (NHPC) have been really important in his development as a player. He maintained that the main reason behind his success has been his shift in focus on limited-overs cricket.
