Mushtaq is out of favour with Pakistan's selectors

New Zealand cancelled the remainder of their tour following a bomb attack outside the team hotel in Karachi in May - just hours before the second Test was due to start.

In January, the West Indies refused to tour and the Test series went ahead in Sharjah.

The PCB claim they have lost �16m following the cancellation of various tours and claims for compensation have so far been turned down by the International Cricket Council.

Meanwhile, Mushtaq believes Pakistan selectors made a mistake in not including him in the squad for the Test series.

The 32-year-old, who has not played Test cricket for over two years, feels he is playing the best cricket of his career.

"I was very disappointed not to be picked to play against Australia," said Mushtaq, who will play for Sussex in 2003.

"Right now my cricket is at its peak and I think I have another four or five years if I stay fit.

"I had a great first-class back home in Pakistan where I was the highest wicket-taker.

"I ask the question: what have I done wrong not to get selected for the Test team?

"I wonder what else I have to do, but it is my duty to work really hard and get plenty of wickets."

Spinners Saqlain Mushtaq and Danish Kaneria won selection over Mushtaq in the squad.
