- Shahid Khan Afridi says Fakhar Zaman is a legit opener.
- Fakhar has scored 235 runs at an average of 47 in the PSL thus far this season.
- Afridi gave his opinions on bowler Ihsanullah & left-handed batsman Saim Ayub.
Shahid Khan Afridi, a former Test cricketer, stated that Fakhar Zaman is a true opener and that he should bat in his natural position.
Afridi was recently questioned about Fakhar’s most recent opening performance for the Lahore Qalandars.
“Any position other than opener is where I won’t allow Fakhar to play. He is best suited for an opening job. He can be your opener to victories “Afridi, often known as Boom Boom, was emphasized.
Fakhar has scored 235 runs at an average of 47 in the PSL thus far this season. The set opening combo of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan in the national T20I team recently demoted the left-handed natural opener to one down.
The former star all-rounder stated that Shaheen Shah Afridi is steadily becoming better when discussing his play.
“Shaheen seems to be improving with each game. It’s encouraging for the Pakistan team and for Lahore as well “added he.
Afridi, meanwhile, called attention to Haris’s deteriorating play and expressed optimism that the right-arm speedster will soon regain his form.
“I want Haris to get back into shape. He seems a little off-color right now. But I have faith that he will regain his form this season “Added he.
However, Afridi, who is for the first time not playing in the PSL this season, gave his opinions on bowler Ihsanullah and left-handed batsman Saim Ayub.
“The PSL has the advantage of surfacing talented players. Ihsanullah has exceptional talent. Saim is appearing well. I want to watch them play in various scenarios and environments. They will be put to the test, but I am certain that they are Pakistan cricket’s future “Finally, he said.
Ihsanullah of Multan Sultans is presently the PSL 8’s leading wicket-taker. He has taken 14 wickets so far.
Saim’s batting performances in the PSL have also won over fans. He has already ran 108 runs, including two fifty-run innings.
