Renowned cricket commentator Harsha Bhogle said Pakistan have found “two fine talents” in middle order batsman Salman Ali Agha and fast bowler Aamer Jamal.
Both players recently featured in the three-match Test series against Australia, with Salman making 141 runs, which included two fifties, at an average of 28.20.
As for Jamal, he made his Test debut at the beginning of the series and went on to take 18 wickets in three matches at an average of 20.44.
The 27-year-old also accumulated 143 runs, which included a top score of 82, at an average of 28.60.
Even though Salman and Jamal did well, Pakistan ended up being whitewashed 3-0.
“Pakistan may have lost the series… but have two fine talents to show at the end of it. Salman Agha and Aamer Jamal,” Bhogle said on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Following the Australia tour, Jamal featured in the five-match T20I series against New Zealand and claimed one wicket in two games at an average of 97 and an economy rate of 12.12.
