The Only Way Shoaib Bashir Will Get Better Is By Bowling, Says Naseer Hussain
Shoaib Bashir: Former captain Nasser Hussain said England's young off-spinner Shoaib Bashir is still learning on the job as he has to realise teams will come after him in Test cricket, adding that he dealt very well with it during day two of second game against West Indies at Trent Bridge.
Bashir was one of the few positives for England with the ball on day two when he took out Mikyle Lewis and Kirk McKenzie to get his first couple of scalps on home soil in Test cricket, but conceded 100 runs in 23 overs as Kavem Lodge led West Indies’ fightback with a brilliant 120 not out.
“Bashir has to realise that sides are going to come after him and he coped with that pretty well. For example, he got hit for a boundary from a bit of a hack from Louis and dismissed him next ball. Stokes will know that the only way England’s first-choice spinner is going to get better is by bowling.”
