Legendary Pakistan pace bowler Shoaib Akhtar has revealed that spinner Yasir Shah and batsman Babar Azam have really impressed him.
Akhtar’s comments came after the third day of the second Test against Australia in Adelaide.
Yasir stole the spotlight on the day as he struck a career-best 113, which came off 213 balls and included 13 boundaries.
