TOP 6 YOUNGSTERS TO WATCH OUT:

Pakistan Shaheen’s recently toured Zimbabwe for an unofficial TEST as well as an ODI series, this series was scheduled to give international quality exposure to the young players that are lined up for the Pakistan team as our future.

Pakistan Shaheens won the TEST series against the Zimbabwe A team but could not win the ODI series, the point was to give that platform to your young players and all the youngsters in the squad of Pakistan Shaheens had their chance in the series against Zimbabwe Select. Here we will find out the top 6 performers of the Zimbabwe tour, which are as follows;

  • OMAIR BIN YOUSAF
  • AMIR JAMAL
  • QASIM AKRAM
  • SHAHNAWAZ DHANI
  • HASEEBULLAH KHAN
  • MUBASIR KHAN

OMAIR BIN YOUSAF:

Omair Bin Yousaf, the right-handed Pakistani batsman scored tons of runs in this tour to Zimbabwe, wasn’t given chance at the start but when he got the opportunity he grabbed that with both hands. Omair scored 2 fifties and 2 top-class centuries on this tour, his knocks of 250 not out in the TEST match and 153 in ODI cricket were the best innings he played on this tour. His performance tells us that he is the one to watch out for in the future.

AMIR JAMAL:

Amir Jamal, the talented all-rounder of Peshawar Zalmi, has already made his T20I debut for Pakistan and showed everyone again why he is special as he was among the wickets during the whole tour and impressed everyone with his bowling in TESTS as well as in ODI matches where he was a bit expensive at times but got many wickets along with his maiden fifer as well for Pakistan Shaheens. Amir Jamal was the highest wicket-taker of the unofficial ODI series against the Zimbabwe Select team.

QASIM AKRAM:

Qasim Akram, the former captain and a talented all-rounder of the Pakistan U-19 team, didn’t get many opportunities, and the same was the case on this tour when he was on the bench but once he got an opportunity, he made that count. He scored a quick-fire fifty in the lower order to help Pakistan win an ODi match followed by a 3-fer in the fifth ODI match, again proving himself as a proper match winner who instantly made his impact on the results.

SHAHNAWAZ DAHANI:

Shahnawaz Dahani has also played at the highest level for his country but eventually lost his place in the Pakistan squad because of his poor form, then things got worse for him bearing an injury in the PSL, but now he has recovered and has bowled some brilliant bowling spells during this tour. There was just one match in which he was wicket-less in the whole ODI series as he proved himself again after picking up 13 wickets in 6 ODI matches.

HASEEBULLAH KHAN:

Haseebullah Khan, another player of Peshawar Zalmi who was picked by Babar Azam in the recent PSL season and impressed everyone, failed to score many big scores but once again played many handy knocks which were good enough as a wicket-keeper batsman, played some good knocks in ODI as a middle-order batsman for Pakistan Shaheens on the recent Zimbabwe tour and we all know that the 50 overs World Cup is just around the corner so he can fit in as a backup wk-batsman as well. He also scored a brilliant century in the second Test match against the Zimbabwe team.
