Mohammad Nawaz names THIS India star as his favorite all-rounder

LAUDERHILL: Pakistan all-rounder Mohammad Nawaz has named former India stalwart Yuvraj Singh as his favourite all-rounder.

Pakistan clinched the series 2-1 against West Indies after sealing a 13-run win in the final T20I at Central Broward Regional Park.

Chasing a daunting 190-run target, West Indies fell 13 runs short despite Sherfane Rutherford’s and Alick Athanaze’s half-centuries.

For Pakistan, it was an all-round bowling effort with each of the front-line bowlers scalping one wicket each.

Nawaz, who played a significant role in Pakistan’s triumph, was named as the Player of the Series. The left-hander scalped seven wickets in three matches to earn this award.

“My favourite all-rounder has always been Yuvraj Singh, and of course Shahid bhai (Afridi) — I grew up watching both of them a lot,” Nawaz revealed.

Mohammad Nawaz mentioned his bowling plan amid favorable spin conditions.

“When you get these kinds of conditions, the plans become simpler. The pitch favoured spinners today — it was just about hitting the right areas,” he said.

The 31-year-old reflected on bowling with the ball, revealing that he was very cautious with his bowling.

“I’ve bowled with the new ball before in my career. Caribbean players are naturally strong, so I had to be very cautious with my line and length, Nawaz elaborated.

“These days, if you stick to just one line and length, batters can predict you easily so it’s all about outsmarting them,” he concluded.
