Umar Gul said teenage fast bowler Naseem Shah is a “good bowler and an asset for Pakistan” following his impressive start to international cricket.
Naseem started off just playing Test cricket, but after getting the chance to stamp his authority in white-ball cricket, he grabbed the opportunity and hasn’t looked back.
This has resulted in the 19-year-old being part of Pakistan’s pace attack in all three formats.
Considering how young he is and the potential he possesses, Gul is excited to see what Naseem achieves in the future.
