Former West Indies pace bowler Ian Bishop said he hopes Pakistan big-hitting batsman Haider Ali shines bright in the T20 World Cup.
Haider was included in the team at the expense of pace bowler Mohammad Hasnain.
In the National T20 Cup, the 21-year-old finished as the fifth-highest run-scorer with 317 runs in eight games for Northern, which included three half-centuries, at an average of 63.40 and a strike-rate of 146.75.
Given how well he has been batting, Bishop has told Haider to make full use of this opportunity and not waste it.
Happy for Haider Ali. I hope he makes best use of the opportunity. PLEASE!!!
