Multan Sultans bowling coach Azhar Mahmood said pace bowler Shahnawaz Dahani is a wicket-taking machine.
Dahani played an instrumental role in leading the Sultans to their first-ever Pakistan Super League (PSL) title.
In the 11 games he played, he took 20 wickets at an average of 17 and an economy rate of 8.42.
“We had the highest wicket-taker in the tournament in the shape of Shahnawaz Dahani,” Mahmood wrote in his blog for PakPassion.
Dahani has kept hold of his spot in the 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.
