Pakistan batsman Fakhar Zaman said seamer Muhammad Musa Khan was the bowler that impressed him the most during the Champions T20 Cup.
Musa was the second-highest wicket-taker in the tournament with 16 wickets in nine matches for the Lions at an average of 18.06.
The 24-year-old has also done extremely well in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy as he is the highest wicket-taker with 38 wickets in five games for Islamabad Region, which includes five five-fors, at a jaw-dropping average of 9.81.
Musa has represented Pakistan in one Test, two ODIs and two T20Is to date, but he will be hoping his recent performances in domestic cricket will land him on the national selectors’ radar once again.
“The bowler that impressed me the most in the Champions T20 Cup is Musa Khan,” Zaman was quoted as saying by PakPassion on X, formerly known as Twitter.
The Pakistan team recently toured Australia and won the ODI series 2-0 before getting hammered 3-0 in the T20Is.
