Former Pakistan cricketer Mudassar Nazar believes spinner Noman Ali “is a fine bowler” who could help the national team beat England in their ongoing three-Test series.
Noman was recalled to the side after not featuring in the first Test, which the men in green lost by an innings and 47 runs.
Having been included in the playing XI for the second Test in Multan, the 38-year-old returned with a bang as he claimed 11 wickets, including a career-best 8-46 in the second innings, to help Pakistan triumph by 152 runs.
With the series tied going into the third Test, Nazar feels that Noman could play a pivotal role once again.
“Maybe Pakistan can beat them with spin, especially with Noman selected, who is a fine bowler,” he told Cricket Pakistan.
The third Test between Pakistan and England will get underway on October 24 in Rawalpindi.
Pakistan Squad for 2nd and 3rd Tests against England: Shan Masood (captain), Saud Shakeel (vice-captain), Aamer Jamal, Abdullah Shafique, Haseebullah Khan (wicketkeeper), Kamran Ghulam, Mehran Mumtaz, Mir Hamza, Mohammad Ali, Muhammad Hurraira, Mohammad Rizwan (wicketkeeper), Noman Ali, Saim Ayub, Sajid Khan, Salman Ali Agha, Zahid Mahmood.
