Multan Sultans bowling coach Azhar Mahmood said he and Pakistan bowling coach Waqar Younis will work with Shahnawaz Dahani to make him “[an] even better bowler”.
Dahani recently played an instrumental role in helping the Sultans win their first-ever Pakistan Super League (PSL) title.
The Sultans defeated the Peshawar Zalmi by 47 runs in the final on Thursday.
In the 11 games he played, Dahani took 20 wickets at an average of 17 and an economy rate of 8.42.
“He definitely has the potential and, along with Waqar [Younis] bhai, we will work with him in order to make him [an] even better bowler,” Mahmood told Cricket Pakistan.
Dahani has kept hold of his spot in the Pakistan Test team for the upcoming tour of the West Indies.
He was part of the Test side for the recent series against Zimbabwe, but didn’t feature in any games.
Despite this, the 22-year-old will be hoping to make his international debut in the Caribbean.
Pakistan’s tour of the West Indies will consist of five T20 Internationals and two Tests, with the T20 series getting underway on July 27 and ending on August 3.
As for the Test series, it will start on August 12 and conclude on August 24.
