Mushtaq Ahmed has admitted that legendary Sri Lanka left-arm spinner Rangana Herath was very difficult to face as he had plenty of tricks and variations up his sleeve.
Herath took the second-most wickets for Sri Lanka in Test cricket as he finished with 433 wickets in 93 games at an average of 28.07.
“He was also a very difficult bowler to face,” Mushtaq, who is widely regarded as one of Pakistan’s best-ever spinners, told Cricket Pakistan.
Pakistan are now playing a seven-match T20 series against England and are 2-1 down.
