Hence, while interacting with the media, the Afghan is excited to exchange knowledge and also learn from other players during his new stint.
“IPL is a very top competition and a very good experience for all the players to fulfill their ambition to play cricket. IPL was a good experience for me, I learnt so many things in IPL. Here, everyone knows that we have a coach like Lance (Klusener), who can help everyone,” Gurbaz was quoted as saying by CricketNext.
“I also want to learn from other players. This is a very good opportunity for everyone to know each other well and learn something from each other. I will share my IPL experience and some other cricket experiences as well,” the Afghan youngster further added.
