Pakistan assistant coach Azhar Mahmood sees a bright future ahead for pace bowler Aamer Jamal, calling him a “fantastic prospect” who can “become one of Pakistan’s best all-rounders”.
Jamal burst onto the international scene with his awe-inspiring performance in the three-match Test series against Australia from December 2023 to January 2024.
The 28-year-old featured in all three Tests and took 18 wickets at an average of 20.44.
Jamal showed his all-round credentials by scoring 143 runs, which included a career-best knock of 82, at an average of 28.60.
“Aamer Jamal is a fantastic prospect for Pakistan. After myself and Abdul Razzaq, I think he can become one of Pakistan’s best all-rounders,” Mahmood was quoted as saying by PakPassion on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Jamal did not play in Pakistan’s recent two-Test series against Bangladesh due to a back injury.
The men in green performed poorly throughout the series and ended up being whitewashed 2-0.
Pakistan Squad for Bangladesh Test Series: Shan Masood (captain), Saud Shakeel (vice-captain), Aamer Jamal, Abdullah Shafique, Abrar Ahmed, Babar Azam, Kamran Ghulam, Khurram Shahzad, Mir Hamza, Mohammad Ali, Muhammad Hurraira, Mohammad Rizwan (wicketkeeper), Naseem Shah, Saim Ayub, Salman Ali Agha, Sarfaraz Ahmed (wicketkeeper), Shaheen Shah Afridi
