Former Pakistan cricketer Yasir Hameed has told big-hitting duo Haider Ali and Khushdil Shah to go learn from Mohammad Rizwan.
He noted that they should talk to the wicketkeeper-batsman about learning to stay at the crease and protect their wickets.
Since England all-rounder Moeen Ali encouraged his teammates to do the same, Hameed cannot understand why Haider and Khushdil can’t take the initiative to pick Rizwan’s brain.
“They both should talk to Rizwan. Rizwan proved with his consistency that he deserves the number one spot in T20Is. So if Moeen Ali is telling England batters to learn to stay on the crease from Rizwan, then why can’t our players learn from him too,” he was quoted as saying by Cricket Pakistan.
