Former all-rounder Azhar Mahmood believes Under-19 captain Farhan Yousaf is the best Pakistan fielder he has seen for the last 30 years.
Yousaf is well known for his batting, with many praising the talent he possesses in that particular department.
However, Mahmood thinks the 19-year-old is a special talent when it comes to the impact he has when in the field.
“I have not seen in Pakistan a fielder as good as Farhan Yousaf in the last 30 years,” he was quoted as saying by journalist Saj Sadiq on X.
Yousaf is currently leading the Pakistan Under-19 team in the Asian Cricket Council Under-19s Asia Cup. So far, he has amassed 76 runs in three matches, which includes a top score of 74, at an average of 38.
The Pakistan national team is in the midst of a two-Test series against Sri Lanka, which got underway on November 9 in Rawalpindi.
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
