Abdul Rehman, Pakistan’s assistant coach, said young players like Shadab Khan and Naseem Shah are the national team’s “trump cards”.
Shadab regularly plays for the men in green in limited overs cricket and has established himself as a top spinner and a handy batsman too.
As for Naseem, he is part of the pace attack in all three formats and has established his reputation as a dangerous seamer since he can bowl fast and take plenty of wickets.
“Shadab Khan, Naseem Khan, and young players are all our trump cards,” Rehman was quoted as saying by Cricwick.
Naseem is currently representing Pakistan in their two-Test series against Sri Lanka, but Shadab wasn’t picked in the squad.
