Naseem Shah Dropped for Mohammad Amir? Here’s Why Young Pacer Is Not Playing Against England in 2nd T20I
Mohammad Amir has been preferred over Naseem Shah.
The first T20I between Pakistan and England was a washout, but the action resumes today at Edgbaston for the second match of the series. Pakistan won the toss and elected to bowl first.
There’s a change in Pakistan’s bowling attack, with the return of paceman Haris Rauf, who has been out due to injury. The experienced Mohammad Amir also finds a place in the playing XI. However, fans might be wondering about the absence of young gun Naseem Shah.
Naseem Shah Dropped for Experience
In place of Naseem Shah, Pakistan went with Mohammad Amir, thanks to his experience. This decision comes after Naseem’s performance in the recent series against Ireland, where he might not have had the best outing.
Pakistan seems to be prioritizing experience for this match, with Mohammad Amir joining Shaheen Shah Afridi and Haris Rauf to form a potent three-pronged pace attack. Imad Wasim, the left-arm spin bowling all-rounder, provides additional bowling support.
It will be interesting to see how this strategy plays out against England on a used Edgbaston pitch.
