Former Pakistan seamer Umar Gul said he expects Naseem Shah to be given more responsibility as time goes on.
Despite only being 19 years old, Naseem is already an established member of the Pakistan team and is featuring more and more in limited overs cricket.
Showing an abundance of potential, Gul feels that the selectors will keep investing in Naseem as he has repaid the faith shown in him early on.
“The responsibility is also mounting on him,” he was quoted as saying by A Sports.
