Former Pakistan batsman Yasir Hameed said opener Abdullah Shafique is a “fine find” following his impressive performance in the two-Test series against Bangladesh.
Shafique made his Test debut in the series and accumulated 150 runs, which included back-to-back half-centuries in his first match, at an average of 50.
His efforts with the bat helped Pakistan secure a 2-0 series win.
“Abdullah Shafique is [a] fine find,” Hameed said on Twitter.
The men in green are now playing a limited overs series against the West Indies in Karachi, but Shafique was not picked.
The three-match T20 series began on Monday, while the three-match ODI series gets underway on Saturday.
