Former Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq said out of all the players he has seen play in this year’s domestic tournaments, opening batsman Shan Masood has stood out for all the right reasons.
In the Pakistan Super League (PSL), Masood accumulated 209 runs in seven games for the Multan Sultans, which included two half-centuries, at an average of 29.85 and a strike-rate of 142.17.
Masood was the third-highest run-scorer in the Kashmir Premier League (KPL) as he scored 254 runs in five matches for the Bagh Stallions, which included three fifties, at an average of 50.80 and a strike-rate of 144.31.
As for the ongoing National T20 Cup, he has made 71 runs in six games for Sindh at an average of 11.83 and a strike-rate of 84.52.
“If I talk about Shan Masood, I have seen him play in the PSL and KPL,” Inzamam said on his YouTube channel as quoted by ARY Sports. “Of all the players I saw, I think he would be the one who has played extremely well.”
Despite doing well in the PSL and KPL, Masood was not picked for the T20 World Cup.
Pakistan will begin their T20 World Cup campaign against India on October 24 in Dubai.
