Guptill, primarily an opener for the New Zealand side, said that he is willing to bat at any position the team management requires, and his main aim is to score runs and contribute towards the team’s victories.
“My aim is to make runs for my side. I don’t know which position the management wants to play me in, but my aim will be to make runs at any position I play in. I have been hard at work in the nets. We are also getting a good opportunity to train after the end of our quarantine in Abu Dhabi,” Guptill said.
The 34-year old believes that Karachi has a solid squad and the potential to become the first team in PSL history to defend their title. Guptill said that the team is working hard in the nets and will be raring to go once the tournament starts.
