Pakistan white-ball head coach Mike Hesson said he sees plenty of potential in top order batsman Shamyl Hussain, calling him “an exciting talent”.
Hussain made his international debut during Pakistan’s ODI series against Bangladesh in March, but only managed to make scores of 4 and 6.
Despite not getting off to the best start, Hesson thinks the 21-year-old is promising prospect.
“Shamyl Hussain is an exciting talent,” he was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo.
Pakistan just finished playing a two-Test series against the West Indies in Trinidad and Tobago, which ended as a 1-1 draw.
Next up, Pakistan will travel to England for three Tests from August 19 to September 13.
