Pakistan has found another Left Arm Pace bowler; Shaheen Shah Afridi

Shaheen Shah Afridi is a tall left arm pace bowler who plays for the Pakistan A and some of the domestic teams in Pakistan. Shaheen is a treat to watch. He is a genuine left arm pacer and he has got some seriously good skills in bowling. He is one of the best in the business for sure.

Shaheen recently played for Pakistan A and here we see him getting wickets against the opposition. Shaheen can swing the ball as well as he can get that seam movement as well. This makes him a perfect bowler for both left and right handers. He is surely one of those who have a bright future ahead.

Shaheen Shah Afridi is a left arm pacer who plays for the Pakistan under 19 team. He at his very young age is pretty expressive with his pace. Shaheen is tall and uses his height to his advantage a lot. His pace and the odd bounce he gets makes it difficult for the batsmen to read him well.

Shaheen here is seen bowling to a batsman for the Pakistan under 19 unit and he clean him up with a beauty. This was a yorker on the middle and leg stump line and the pace and accuracy on this ball absolutely baffled the batsmen and in no time his stumps were shattered.

In the past decade we have seen that Pakistan domestic cricket has produced a lot of left arm fast bowlers. Mohammad Amir and Wahab Riaz are the two who have been consistently playing for Pakistan in all the three formats though Amir did serve a ban of five years.

Junaid Khan is also there but he is on and off from the Pakistan team. This is something which is a bit of concern for the Pakistan team. There are less genuine right arm paces coming out. Hasan Ali is one of them who have done well being a right arm pacer in Pakistan team.

Shaheen here is also as stated earlier a left arm pacer. He too is there with his good bowling skills. This was a beauty from Shaheen. The ball was landed in the perfect area right under the bat. The left handed batter had no chance here to counter this ball from the pacer.

He did try to put his bat down and dig the ball down but he could not. The ball went pass everything and crushed the stumps. The middle and leg stumps went flying out of the ground here. This was a perfect scenery for a fast bowler here. Shaheen and talents like him surely be given a chance regularly to polish their bowling skills more and more. The way he bowls certainly there is a chance for him to play for the Pakistan team.
