Pakistan fast bowler Hunain Shah has said his mindset is always to be the “main bowler for my team” whenever he takes the field.
Hunain, the brother of Naseem and Ubaid Shah, has shown promising signs as of late, especially in different T20 leagues.
During the Pakistan Super League (PSL) earlier this year, he was the joint third-highest wicket-taker with 17 victims in 10 matches for Hyderabad Kingsmen at an average of 18.41 and an economy rate of 8.57.
He then played for the Jamaica Kingsmen in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) and was the joint-highest wicket-taker with 16 wickets in 13 games at an average of 22.62 and an economy rate of 7.95.
“My mindset whenever I step onto the field is simple: I want to be the main bowler for my team,” Hunain was quoted as saying by PakPassion.
