Pakistan big-hitter Fakhar Zaman named spin-bowling all-rounder Mohammad Nawaz as the player who sleeps the most.
Zaman made the revelation when chatting to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) in a YouTube video.
Nawaz recently returned to the national team and has done well so far as he took three wickets during Pakistan’s three-match T20I tour of Bangladesh at an average of 10.33 and an economy rate of 5.47.
He also scored 30 runs at an average of 10 and a strike-rate of 136.36.
Nawaz then took part in Pakistan’s tour of the West Indies and began by claiming seven wickets in three T20Is at an average of 10 and an economy rate of 6.36.
On top of that, he made 11 runs at an average of 5.50 and a strike-rate of 78.57.
As for the three-match ODI series that followed, the 31-year-old from Rawalpindi snapped up three wickets in two games at an average of 25.66, while also making 28 runs at an average of 28.
“Mohammad Nawaz sleeps the most, and he does not wake up,” Zaman was quoted as saying by A Sports.
Next up for the men in green will be a T20I tri-series against the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Afghanistan in Sharjah, which will be held from August 29 to September 7.
