Former Pakistan wicketkeeper-batsman Rashid Latif heaped praise on pace bowler Irfanullah Shah’s performance in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy.
Latif noted that Irfanullah’s bowling “showed great movement on a flat Karachi track with the old ball”.
The 25-year-old did extremely well in the tournament as he took 23 wickets in six matches for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa at an average of 20.21.
He continued to impress in the Pakistan Cup as he claimed eight wickets in four games at an average of 22.75.
Despite his strong performances, Irfanullah wasn’t picked for the Pakistan Super League (PSL).
“I had the chance to look at domestic cricket first-class matches. There was a bowler Irfanullah Shah from the KP side, he showed great movement on a flat Karachi track with the old ball,” Latif said in a YouTube video as quoted by Cricket Pakistan. “He couldn’t be part of the PSL either.”
