Pakistan Test captain Shan Masood has heaped praise on up-and-coming left-arm spinner Arafat Minhas, calling him a “good player.”
Masood’s comments come after he played alongside Minhas while leading the Karachi Kings in the 2024 Pakistan Super League (PSL).
In the two games he played, the 19-year-old took one wicket at an average of 11 and an economy rate of 2.75.
Considering how young Minhas is, Masood acknowledged he is a cricketer to keep an eye on going forward.
“Arafat Minhas is a good player,” he was quoted as saying by Cricket Pakistan.
The Kings failed to advance to the playoffs in PSL 9 as they finished in fifth place on the points table with four wins out of the 10 matches they played.
Pakistan’s next assignment will be a five-match T20I series against New Zealand in Rawalpindi and Lahore from April 18 to 27.
Karachi Kings Squad for PSL 9:Â Shan Masood (captain), Kieron Pollard, Daniel Sams, Mohammad Nawaz, James Vince, Hasan Ali, Tim Seifert, Shoaib Malik, Tabraiz Shamsi, Mir Hamza, Muhammad Akhlaq, Mohammad Amir Khan, Anwar Ali, Arafat Minhas, Irfan Khan, Sirajuddin, Saad Baig, Jamie Overton, Leus du Plooy, Mohammad Rohid, Zahid Mahmood
