PAK vs BAN 2nd Test: Azhar Mahmood Guides Khurram Shahzad in Pitching the Ball

Since Khurram Shahzad has limited experience in international cricket, he received a much-needed guidance from the Pakistan bowling coach, Azhar Mahmood. Before Bangladesh came out to bat, Mahmood was spotted telling Khurram on how to pitch the ball to take advantage of the venue's conditions.

Pakistan’s second Test against Bangladesh saw a massive display of bowling from Khurram Shahzad, who delivered a game-changing spell under the watch of coach Azhar Mahmood. Khurram broke the Bangladeshi batting line-up into pieces. Shahzad’s lethal attack on Day 3 marked the bar for Pakistan’s domination, as they restricted the visitors to 75/6 before lunch.

The well experienced bowling coach of Pakistan, Azhar Mahmood had the biggest role in Shahzad showing this brilliant performance.

Bangladesh, who previously secured a historical 10-wicket victory against the hosts, struggled to handle the pace and accuracy that Shehzad came with. Shahzad’s ability to bring out bounce and motion from the pitch came out to be too much for the Bangladeshi batters to handle.
