Former Pakistan batsman Faisal Iqbal has lavished praise on teenage pace sensation Naseem Shah, saying he “will demolish whoever comes his way”.

Faisal’s comments about Naseem come after the 17-year-old was in scarily good form on the first day of Pakistan’s four-day intra-squad practice match in Derby.

Naseem took three wickets and even struck batsman Fawad Alam with a skiddy bouncer that left him needing treatment and a new helmet.

Faisal noted that the youngster, who holds the record of being the second-youngest bowler to take a five-for and the youngest to claim a hat-trick in Test cricket, is “improving, skilled and [has a] sensible [head on his shoulders]”.

After spending 14 days in isolation in Worcester, the Pakistan team arrived in Derby on Monday.

They will travel to Manchester on August 1 prior to the start of the Test series.

Pakistan are scheduled to play three Tests and three T20 Internationals against England, with the first Test starting on August 5 and the T20 series beginning on August 28.
