Umar Gul said Pakistan seamer Naseem Shah is responding well to the advice he has been giving him.
Umar Gul: “In Test cricket, in Pakistan, you need a bowler who can consistently bowl 140-145 kph because of the slow pitches. When the ball gets old, you need pace to reverse the ball to deceive the batsman. It was shocking that he [wasn’t] there in the squad”
