Srinagar: Former Australia pacer and Pakistan bowling coach, Shaun Tait has praised Pakistan young pacer Naseem Shah, terming him best at his age.
Shaun Tait praised Naseem Shah during an interview with Pakistan journalist Saj Sadiq.
“I just thought he [Naseem Shah] was fantastic. I loved working with him. I think at his age now, early 20s, he is probably the best, and it is a big call, but I am going to say he is nearly the best fast bowler I have ever seen at that age,” said Tait told Saj Sadiq.
Tait also termed Naseem as a complete fast bowler in terms of his skillset, something which is extremely rare to have at that young age.
“As far as his ability, his brains, his desires and his competitiveness, he is almost the perfect package,” he said.
“There is no such thing but he is nearly there. He is someone who swings the ball both ways when he wants to and he can also reverse the old ball. He takes the pace off really well and bowls good yorkers. I think he is a fantastic player. He is mature beyond his years as well,” he added.
In his short international career, Naseem has so far played 15 Tests, 8 ODIs and 19 T20Is.
