Karachi: Former West Indies fast bowler Ian Bishop has praised Pakistan U19 vice-captain Haider Ali and is one of the three picks from the ICC U19 World Cup 2020 in South Africa.
The renowned commentator in a podcast of ESPN Cricinfo along with former Australian Tom Moody picked their respective three players that are close to representing their senior teams.
The 19-year-old Haider caught the attention of Bishop during the quarter-final against Afghanistan and reminded him of Pakistan T20I skipper Babar Azam.
“He played some cover drives against Afghanistan that reminded me of Babar Azam, simply because of the balance in his shots. He seems to have a good temperament as well, and unfortunately, he got run-out,” he said. – Agencies
