Haris almost ready for Test debut

Rawalpindi: Pakistan men’s team head coach Misbah-ul-Haq revealed that the 27-year-old Haris Rauf is developing as a Test Bowler. Haris, who has played 11 T20Is and two ODIs for Pakistan, was named to the Test squad for the first time and chief selector Mohammad Wasim rated him as ‘X-factor’. “Haris is bowling really well. He has been bowling 13-14 overs with the new and old ball. He is getting ready and almost there. If required, we will look to him,” Misbah said in a virtual presser from Pindi Cricket Stadium. Meanwhile, Misbah is ready to make a bold decision if conditions allow them to choose one spinner from Yasir Shah and Nauman Ali, performers of first Karachi Test.
