Earlier, KL Rahul and Mohammed Nabi were also treated with similar deliveries with both international stalwarts struggling to come to terms with Naseem’s ability to move the ball around. The 19-year-old has earned his tripes quickly and has been unstoppable in the tournament with great accuracy with the new ball and at the death.
Naseem made his debut in the format after Pakistan were hit by an injury crisis and the young pacer has taken on the responsibility with ease, chipping in with match-winning contributions. He has an economy rate of 6.81, having picked up seven wickets in five matches.
