Shoaib Malik wants to play on until 2020 World T20Pakistan all-rounder Shoaib Malik has set his sights on playing at least until the 2020 World Twenty20 and the 36-year-old is aware that he will have to perform consistently to achieve that goal.The former Pakistan captain retired from Test cricket at the end of 2015, three Tests after earning a shock return to the side after a gap of five years.He has, however, been a regular member of Pakistan's limited-overs side."The 2019 World Cup, 50-over cricket, is my last World Cup, but I want to play in the World T20 in 2020, that is my goal for Twenty20 cricket," Malik said in a statement from the Caribbean Premier League T20 tournament."These are the two big goals which I'm looking at - let's see how it goes.
If I'm consistently performing then I want to play these two World Cups."A middle order batsman and who bowls off-spin, Malik played 35 Tests for Pakistan and has represented the team in 261 one-day internationals and 95 Twenty20 matches.
He played for the Barbados Tridents in the CPL for the last five years but has now joined the Guyana Amazon Warriors for the 2018 edition, which will run from August 8-September 16."Guyana is more like you're playing in the sub-continent I think," said Malik, who has also played in the Indian Premier League and Australia's Big Bash League."But on that particular day performance is the key of any cricketer and that's what I'm looking for."Obviously, if you're playing for a new team the expectations are a lot from you.
When they have seen someone that did well for a longer run the expectations are obviously high."
