“Right now, I don’t know what lies ahead for me because I am still not comfortable with the knee,” he said on a local TV channel.

“I am hoping to make a comeback in the Tests against Australia but if that doesn’t happen I could quit Tests.”

The 30-year old from Peshawar, who has taken 163 wickets from 47 Tests, has said that his problems with the knee still persist despite having gone under the knife once. He is hopeful, though, of continuing to play for Pakistan for the next 4-5 years at the very least.

“The doctors have told me I still have to undergo more rehabilitation and gym training as there are still problems with the knee,” said Gul, who has also taken 173 wickets in 50-over cricket after having played 124 ODIs.

“I don’t feel comfortable bowling. If you ask me right now whether I can play Test matches I will say no.

“I still have lot of cricket left in me but I don’t know what the selectors, or Pakistan team coaches, have planned for me, but I am eyeing a comeback against Australia.”
