New Delhi: Pakistan’s fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi is counted among the best fast bowlers of the present time. This left-arm bowler has the power to trouble any batsman with his swing and speed. Till now Shaheen is known only as a great fast bowler, but former Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Amir has said a big thing. Aamir believes that Shaheen has the ability to become a great all-rounder. He says that Shaheen can play the role of Hardik Pandya in Pakistan team.

Pandya can become Shaheen
Aamir feels that keeping in mind the ODI World Cup, Shaheen and the team management should focus on preparing Shaheen as an all-rounder. Talking to the English newspaper Hindustan Times, he said, “Definitely. In today’s time, cricket has become very fast. You have to take decisions in seconds. Book cricket is not given much attention at this time. In today’s time, batsmen have also started playing the game in a very different way. That’s why Pakistan should think about it.”
He said, “If he keeps working on it continuously, it will improve his batting. Practice makes you mature. I have seen that he can hit long sixes and can also score half-centuries.

Kohli is ahead of Babar
Pakistan’s captain Babar Azam and India’s Virat Kohli are often compared. In another interview, when Aamir was asked about his favorite player among Babar and Kohli, he said that overall Kohli is much better. Aamir said, “Both the players are excellent. But if you see overall then I will always keep Virat above because I don’t think any batsman in this era will go till what Virat has achieved in his career. He accepts the challenge of the people. Before the World Cup, you see how much people were criticizing him, but he pacified everyone. That’s why no one is bigger than him.
