RAWALPINDI: Pakistan’s right-arm pacer Naseem Shah is on the verge of achieving a significant milestone in his international career.
Naseem, who made his international debut against Australia in 2019, has 98 wickets to his name in international cricket and is just two strikes away from joining his teammates Shaheen Shah Afridi, Mohammad Amir and others in the 100-wicket club.
He would be hoping to cross 100-wicket tally in the upcoming T20 International series against New Zealand.
Out of his 98 wickets, 24 came against Sri Lanka, followed by 23 against New Zealand and 11 against the Netherlands.
Naseem Shah’s tally of international wickets comprised 51 Tests, 32 ODIs and 15 in T20Is.
Rawalpindi’s Pindi Cricket Stadium will host the opening three T20Is between Pakistan and New Zealand on 18, 20 and 21 April before action shifts to Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium where the last two matches will be played on 25 and 27 April.
