Naseem Shah: 16-year-old Pakistan bowler an 'exceptional' talent'

Taimur Khan first spotted Naseem Shah at a regional talent trial a few years ago and he tells Stumped, that he knew he would go on to play for Pakistan on the international stage.

Shah became the youngest player to take a hat-trick in Test cricket for Pakistan.

Speaking with 大象传媒 Stumped presenter, Alison Mitchell, Khan explained what made Shah an International prospect at such an early age:

鈥淵ou know when he was with me in the national camp for the under 16鈥檚, he was down to earth, quick learner and he was listening to all the senior players, always asking them for tips. He was very good in training, always on time and diet conscious at that age. That made him an exceptional case鈥.
