Former Pakistan batsman Shoaib Mohammad said left-arm seamers Mohammad Amir and Wahab Riaz “have the ability to move the ball”.
Amir and Wahab, who both bowl at 145 kph, were not included in the T20 World Cup squad.
Amir has retired from international cricket, while Wahab was not picked despite being in top form in the recently-concluded National T20 Cup.
Wahab took 12 wickets in 12 games for Central Punjab at an average of 21.16 and an economy rate of 6.54.
“Amir and Wahab have the ability to move the ball,” Shoaib told Cricket Pakistan.
Pakistan will begin their T20 World Cup campaign against India on October 24 in Dubai.
