Pakistan seamer Naseem Shah said bowling coach Shaun Tait keeps motivating the bowlers and reminding them how good they are.
Tait is a former Australian speedster who memorably unleashed a 160.7 kph delivery.
Naseem admitted that sometimes, he and his fellow fast bowlers need encouragement from the coaches.
“He motivates us all the time and reminds us how good we are. That is all that we need as fast bowlers,” the 19-year-old was quoted as saying by Cricket Pakistan.
Naseem was in good form during the Asia Cup as he claimed seven wickets in five games at an average of 19.71.
He then played one T20 International against England before being ruled out of the seven-match series with pneumonia and Covid-19.
Pakistan are currently taking part in a T20 tri-series against New Zealand and Bangladesh in Christchurch.
They will then feature in the 2022 T20 World Cup, which will be held in Australia and begin on October 16.
Pakistan’s Squad for T20 Tri-Series against New Zealand and Bangladesh: Babar Azam (capt), Shadab Khan, Shaheen Afridi, Iftikhar Ahmed, Asif Ali, Haider Ali, Mohammad Hasnain, Shan Masood, Mohammad Nawaz, Usman Qadir, Haris Rauf, Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Khushdil Shah, Naseem Shah, Mohammad Wasim Jr

Unless we bring changes in our mind set that Cricket 🏏 is a support event and not a war between any two nations, religions or countries. Its a simple fact that one who plays good will win. My open challenge to PCB Muhammad Yousaf is the main reason of Pakistan batting failure. Does he has any international experience of coaching?.
Pakistan cricket team members plays professional cricket. No doubt they represent Pakistan but my question is do they play for Pakistan?. Saqlain’s and Muhammad Yousaf’s press statements were 💯 nonprofessional, rather disgrace for country.
