The 29-year-old cricketer expressed his commitment to the game as long as he maintains his energy and fitness. “I will keep playing cricket as long as I have the drive. When that fades, I’ll step away from the game,” he added.

Faheem is focused on using his performances in the Champions Cup to secure a spot in the upcoming Champions Trophy. “My goal is to perform well here and earn a place in the Champions Trophy squad,” he said.
He acknowledged that cricket careers have their highs and lows, but believes that a standout performance can open many doors. “What’s meant to be will happen. If opportunities don’t come despite performing well, it can be disheartening. However, I try to stay positive and focused,” Faheem concluded.
