Iconic Australia opener Matthew Hayden said people shouldn’t be surprised to see something incredibly special from Pakistan batsman Fakhar Zaman.
Zaman has been a regular face in Pakistan’s limited overs squads, but has been moved up and down the batting order as of late.
In the T20 World Cup, he accumulated 109 runs in six matches, which included a top score of 55 not out, at an average of 27.25 and a strike-rate of 118.47.
“Don’t be surprised if you see something incredibly special from him,” Hayden was quoted as saying by the Pakistan Cricket Board’s website.
Pakistan are currently touring Bangladesh and kicked off the series with a four-wicket win in the first T20 International on Friday.
Zaman scored a crucial 34 runs in the match.
Two more T20 Internationals will be played before the two-Test series begins on November 26.
