Ubaid Shah’s Impressive Bowling Against Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman
Ubaid, who is the younger brother of star pace bowler Naseem Shah, has represented the Pakistan Under-19 team as well as the Pakistan Super League (PSL) franchise Islamabad United. Hunain Shah, their third brother, is also part of the United franchise.
In a viral video, Ubaid is seen bowling to Babar and Fakhar in the nets, making them struggle to play with his pace and swing.
The young pacer bowls an outside off-stump delivery to Babar Azam, which the batter leaves, but the ball comes back sharply and goes over the stumps.
The star batter then attempts to play the hook shot against a short-pitched ball, but the ball hits him on the chest.
Meanwhile, Fakhar Zaman attempts a defensive shot but misses the ball, which narrowly misses the bat and goes into the wicketkeeper’s safe hands.
For the unversed, Ubaid Shah was the second highest-wicket taker in the Under-19 World 2024 in South Africa with 18 wickets. He was also named in the team of the tournament.
Babar Azam is currently gearing up for the upcoming two-match home Test series against Bangladesh, scheduled to be played in August.
Fakhar Zaman, on the other hand, is not part of Pakistan’s red-ball team and will be in action during the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2024, starting from August 29.
