'Don't have time to prove anyone wrong' - Salman Ali Agha on his century celebration

Returning to the ODI side on October 18, 2026, thirty-two-year-old batter Salman Ali Agha posted a brilliant century during a tri-series fixture. He amassed 107 runs from 90 deliveries, striking ten fours and one six to help his team establish a total of 305 before getting bowled out in 49.5 overs after the opposing side elected to field first.

The performance justified his recall following a prior demotion from the Test squad and leadership role a few months prior. Opposing batters failed to overcome the target as Pakistan triumphed by a 37-run margin, securing a comfortable victory.

Addressing inquiries surrounding his post-century celebration, the middle-order player explained that the gesture was intended solely for his television-watching son rather than as a statement to critics. He emphasized his indifference toward external commentary, noting that his motivation stems from a genuine affection for cricket and representing his nation.

Having spent a decade playing first-class matches, he credited his domestic experience with helping him regain confidence and balance following difficult tours in England and the West Indies.
