Malik's comments came after his tremendous innings when he secured 81 runs in 61 balls during the first one day international (ODI) against Sri Lanka — held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Pakistan on Friday thrashed the opposing team by 83 runs at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, with the famed cricketer getting named the 'Man of the Match' for his outstanding performance.

Speaking to reporters after the match, Malik said he wanted to continue with his 'form-performance combo' in order to be able to play in the International Cricket Council's (ICC) mega event two years down the line.
