Veteran cricketer Azeem Ghumman said he is praying that up-and-coming batsman Sameer Minhas will be unstoppable at the international level.
Minhas earned his maiden call-up for Pakistan’s forthcoming Test series against Sri Lanka.
Just recently, the 19-year-old had been playing first-class cricket, making 405 runs in seven President’s Trophy Grade-I matches for Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited, which included three fifties, at an average of 40.50.
“I personally think, I really hope and pray… he’s going to be unstoppable,” Ghumman told PakPassion.
Minhas wasn’t included in Pakistan’s team for their T20I series against Sri Lanka, which they won 2-1.
He was also overlooked for the ODI tri-series against Sri Lanka and England, which the men in green won.
The two-Test series between Pakistan and Sri Lanka will be played in Rawalpindi and Lahore from November 9 to 21.
Two pace bowlers will be added to the squad after a three-day warm-up match between PCB Patron’s and Sri Lanka from November 4 to 6.
Pakistan Squad for the Test series against Sri Lanka: Babar Azam (captain), Abdullah Fazal, Ali Usman, Arafat Minhas, Azan Awais, Mohammad Abbas, Ghazi Ghori (wicketkeeper), Mohammad Suleman, Mohammad Taha, Razaullah, Saad Baig (wicketkeeper), Salman Ali Agha, Sameer Minhas, Saud Shakeel
