Cricket latest When Usman Shinwari Impressed National Selectors
Shinwari first caught the attention of the national selectors in 2013, when he was 19 and dismantled Misbah-ul-Haq’s Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited in the departmental T20 Cup final. Exploiting seam and swing, he produced remarkable figures of 5 for 9 in just 3.1 overs. The performance earned him a quick promotion to the T20I squad, though he was unable to translate his domestic success onto the international stage.
He was last in action in Pakistan’s National T20 Cup, where played for Quetta Region, but failed to pick up a wicket in four matches.
