Shoaib arrives in India
Shoaib landed at the Indira Gandhi Airport at 4 pm yesterday and was mobbed by the reporters instantly.
“I am happy to be in India. I am looking forward to play in the IPL and play my role for my team,” he said.
“I am grateful to the people of India for embracing me, especially (team owner) Shah Rukh Khan who supported me. Eden Gardens is like my home ground. I am looking ahead to be there soon.”
Akhtar added that he was willing to work hard on his fitness. “I have not played cricket for four months. I have to acclimatise with the conditions and train hard. I want to do my bit for my team,” he said.
