"I am training hard and regularly to keep myself fit and I am also preparing to file appeals against my convictions in the spot fixing case," Asif told 'Geo News'.
Asif was released from a prison in Canterbury last month after completing a 12-month jail sentence in the spot-fixing case.
He has preferred to remain in London and said he was been helping his legal team to finalise his appeal against his two convictions at the Southwark Crown Court that relate to spot-fixing allegations.
Asif said he still wished to clear his name in the whole scandal.
"I am training regularly these days. I spend a lot of time speaking to my family on the phone and over the internet. I am hopeful that I will play for Pakistan as I played before."
He made it clear he had no intentions of applying for political asylum.
"There is no question of applying for political asylum in Britain. Those who run away from Pakistan apply for asylum. I want to return to Pakistan as soon as possible. I intend to return to Pakistan and play for my country," he stressed. MORE
