Former England speedster Steven Finn said Pakistan spinner Sajid Khan reminds him of former India spinner Murali Kartik.
He noted that Kartik was “super aggressive” and got in “people’s faces when he got a wicket”.
Sajid has been a force to be reckoned with as of late, especially when Pakistan play on home soil.
In the recent two-Test series against the West Indies, the 31-year-old took 15 wickets, which included a five-wicket haul, at an average of 17.
“Sajid Khan reminds me of former India left-arm spinner Murali Kartik. He was super aggressive, hated people sweeping him and was on people’s faces when he got a wicket,” Finn was quoted as saying by TOK Sports on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Sajid was not picked for Pakistan’s ongoing ODI tri-series against New Zealand and South Africa.
He also wasn’t selected for the 2025 Champions Trophy, which will be held from February 19 to March 9.
Pakistan Squad for 2025 Champions Trophy: Mohammad Rizwan (captain and wicketkeeper), Fakhar Zaman, Babar Azam, Kamran Ghulam, Saud Shakeel, Tayyab Tahir, Faheem Ashraf, Khushdil Shah, Salman Ali Agha, Usman Khan, Abrar Ahmed, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Mohammad Hasnain, Haris Rauf, Naseem Shah
