‘Not even a club-level cricketer’: Ex-Cricketer lashes out at Mohammad Nawaz

Srinagar: Former Pakistan cricketer Aamir Sohail has lashed out at Pakistan all-rounder Mohammad Nawaz for his average performance during ongoing World Cup 2023.

“Whenever there were talks of playing Nawaz, I wasn’t convinced,” Sohail said. “That is because, before today’s game, he slogged and got out when there were enough balls remaining twice, against India and against Australia. And now again in this game [against South Africa]”.

“He got out in the 46th over. 24 balls were left. Even if he would have scored 15 out of the 24 balls, it would have made a lot of difference”.

“And then when you see his bowling, he’s not even a club level cricketer, dude, and you’re playing him for Pakistan,” he added.

Nawaz was given the 48th over after all three seamers — Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf and Wasim Jr. — had completed their quota of 10 overs.

Nawaz bowled at leg-down to Keshav Maharaj who hit it for a boundary at fine leg when the Proteas required just four runs off 16 balls.
