Afghanistan spinner Rashid Khan said Pakistan opener Fakhar Zaman really is in good form and has been getting the job done at the top of the order.
He played with Zaman for the Lahore Qalandars in the Pakistan Super League (PSL), with both of them being important elements in helping the team win its first-ever title.
Zaman was the highest run-scorer with 588 runs in 13 matches, which included a century and seven fifties, at an average of 45.23 and a strike-rate of 152.72.
He will now be looking to maintain his momentum in Pakistan’s limited overs series against Australia, which will consist of three ODIs and a one-off T20 International.
The white-ball series will begin on March 29.
“He is in superb form,” Rashid told Cricket Pakistan.
