"I am over the moon now" - Aamer Jamal on his stellar performance in Sydney Test

Speaking to the broadcasters following his six-wicket haul in Sydney, Aamer Jamal expressed his delight over his wonderful performances.

He recalled how he used to watch the Pakistani team play while growing up. Jamal also stated that skipper Shan Masood and the team management have backed him a lot in his maiden series.

"I am over the moon now. Feeling proud to be representing my country at such level and performing for them. This is wonderful achievement for me. It's been so long, I still remember those days when I came to watch the Pakistan team's games and now I represent my country. I just back myself every time. Even if I concede runs, I back myself. When you try to get wicket, you give boundaries as well," he said.
"Captain, vice-captain, coaching staff—they've been giving me confidence. They wanted me to bowl the way I was bowling. We were seven down for 227, that partnership with Mir Hamza brought us back into the game and we are even a couple of runs ahead of them," Jamal added.

While Australia have pocketed the three-match series by claiming an unassailable 2-0 lead, Pakistan still have a lot to play for as they look to secure their first Test victory Down Under in 29 years.
