Pakistan rising star Ali Raza has revealed that he called lethal swing bowlers Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir for bowling advice.
Asif and Amir caused plenty of problems for batsmen during their international careers, regularly testing them with their ability to move the ball.
As one of the brightest prospects in the country right now, Raza is keen to learn as much as he can from the duo as he continues working towards his goal of playing international cricket.
“I used to call Mohammad Asif Bhai and Mohammad Amir Bhai for bowling tips,” he was quoted as saying by journalist Ahmad Haseeb on X.
Raza is currently representing the Pakistan Under-19 team in the Asian Cricket Council Under-19s Asia Cup. He began his campaign with figures of 2-38 from 10 overs against the United Arab Emirates Under-19s.
The men in green, meanwhile, are coming off back-to-back series wins in their T20I series against Sri Lanka and the ODI tri-series against Sri Lanka and England.
Next up for them will be a two-Test series against Sri Lanka in Rawalpindi and Lahore from November 9 to 21.
Pakistan Squad for the Test series against Sri Lanka: Babar Azam (captain), Aamer Jamal, Ali Shabbir, Arafat Minhas, Azan Awais, Mohammad Abbas, Ghazi Ghori (wicketkeeper), Mohammad Suleman, Mohammad Taha, Tayyab Arif, Razaullah, Saad Baig (wicketkeeper), Salman Ali Agha, Sameer Minhas, Saqib Khan and Saud Shakeel
