T20 Debut :
Naseem Shah has made significant progress in international
cricket after making his debut for Pakistan in 2019 at the age of 16. He
recently made his T20I debut against India in the Asia Cup 2022 encounter,
getting rid of KL Rahul and Suryakumar Yadav. He had the opportunity to remove
Virat Kohli as well, but Fakhar Zaman flubbed a straightforward catch in the
slip cordon.
In the meantime, Hunain Shah, Naseem's younger brother,
played his first T20 match in the ongoing National T20 Cup. The speedster ended
with excellent stats of 4-0-28-2 while playing for Central Punjab in their
encounter against Khyber Pakhtunkhwa at Multan Cricket Stadium.
Hunain Shah has been a consistent member of Central Punjab
since last year, when he played frequently for their U-19 team, Central Punjab
Whites.
The pacer has continued to be effective with the red ball,
suggesting that he has the potential to attain the same levels of success as
his brother has thus far.
Hunain dominated the match with his accuracy and pace, even
though Faizan Khan's 36-ball 72 earned him Player of the Match honours. The
wickets of Mohammad Sarwar and Maaz Khan were taken by the right-arm bowler.
On the other side, Naseem Shah, who played against
Aghanistan in the recently finished T20 Asia Cup, became an instant hero after
hitting two sixes off of only two balls. His sixes guaranteed Pakistan's spot
in the championship game, which the Men in Green ultimately fell to Sri Lanka
by a score of 23 runs.
