Pakistan white-ball captain Mohammad Rizwan is backing 150 kph fast bowler Haris Rauf to continue doing well in the future.
Rauf has been in phenomenal form as of late as he tormented both Australia and Zimbabwe.
In the three-match ODI series against Australia, the 31-year-old took 10 wickets, which included a five-wicket haul, at an average of 12.
He followed that up with five wickets in three T20Is at an average of 15.40.
As for the Zimbabwe tour, Rauf picked up three wickets in three ODIs at an average of 32.
In the three-match T20I series, he ended up with three wickets in two games at an average of 10.
Rizwan noted that he is not the only one who has been praising Rauf as the Australian players were doing so as well.
“Haris Rauf is being praised not only by me but also by the Australians. He will do well in the future,” the 32-year-old from Peshawar was quoted as saying by Cricket Pakistan.
Pakistan’s next assignment will be a tour of South Africa, where they will play three T20Is, three ODIs and two Tests.
