Pakistan fast bowler Aamer Jamal believes Jahandad Khan is an exciting prospect for the country as he has done extremely well as an all-rounder.
The 21-year-old from Rawalpindi has started to gain increasing attention for his standout performances with both the bat and ball.
Recently, Jahandad represented the Stallions in the Champions One-Day Cup, which was a domestic 50-over tournament held in Faisalabad.
In the five matches he played, he scored 96 runs at an average of 24 and was the joint second-highest wicket-taker with 10 victims at an average of 19.
Jahandad then represented Pakistan Television in the President’s Cup Grade-I (1-Day) tournament and amassed 57 runs in five games, which includes a top score of 51 not out, at an average of 19.
He also took seven wickets at an average of 26.57.
“Personally, I like Jahandad Khan among all-rounders. He has performed in [the] PSL recently, both bowling and batting-wise,” Jamal was quoted as saying by PakPassion on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Jahandad and Jamal didn’t feature in Pakistan’s recent two-Test series against Bangladesh, which the men in green lost 2-0.
However, Jamal is currently in action in the three-match Test series against England, where he has made 100 runs in two games, which includes a top score of 55 not out, at an average of 33.33.
Bowling-wise, he has claimed one wicket at an average of 165.
The third Test between Pakistan and England will start 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.
