Pakistan wicketkeeper-batsman Mohammad Haris responded to comparisons between himself and players like Suryakumar Yadav and AB de Villiers. Mohamad Haris admitted that it is too early to compare himself with players who have achieved a lot in their careers.

Mohammad Haris is currently leading the Pakistan team in the Men’s Emerging Asia Cup being held in Sri Lanka. Haris scored 64 runs in two matches at an average of 32. He smashed a half-century of 55 runs in a 184-run win against the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

I Am My Own Level Well – Mohammad Haris

Mohammad Haris said that players like Suryakumar Yadav and AB de Villiers are in a league of their own and that he hoped to establish himself as a 360-degree cricketer.

“We shouldn’t compare between the two of us just yet, Surya is 32-33 years old. I am still a 22-year-old boy. To reach that stage I still have to put that work in,” Haris was quoted as saying to a local YouTube channel.

“Surya has his own level, De Villiers had his own level and I am my own level well. I want to make a name for myself as a 360-degree cricketer, not use theirs,” he added.
