The Afghanistan bowler asserted that everyone in the team gets a proper chance to bat, bowl, and field as the training session starts at 3 in the evening and goes till 9 or 10 in the night.
"I had never played at such a high level and last year I played 13 matches in the IPL. So, I was expecting a better version of myself this year and I think I feel better and I feel relaxed. We have practice sessions from 3 PM to almost 10 o'clock. Everyone gets a perfect chance to bat, to bowl and field. So, its a great opportunity for me to become a better version of myself," Noor said in a video posted by the GT franchise on X.
The 19-year-old cricketer further spoke about the supporting staff of the franchise. He stated that they should keep him and all the boys entertained always.
