Former all-rounder Mohammad Hafeez is confident that middle order batsman Kamran Ghulam will score many more hundreds for Pakistan in the future.
His comments come after Ghulam notched up a century on Test debut in the recent three-match series against England.
Brought into the playing XI to replace Babar Azam, Ghulam made a superb 118, which came off 224 balls and included 11 boundaries and a six.
Overall, the 29-year-old ended the series with 147 at an average of 49.
“Congratulations Kamran Ghulam, maiden 100 on debut. Many more to come,” Hafeez said on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Ghulam is currently in action in Pakistan’s limited overs series against Australia, which consists of three ODIs and three T20Is.
In the ODI series, he only batted once and made five runs. Nonetheless, Pakistan won 2-1, which gave them their first ODI series win in Australia since 2002.
After completing their tour of Australia, the men in green will travel to Zimbabwe and play three ODIs and three T20Is from November 24 to December 5.
