Ubaid Shah targets Babar Azam’s wicket in PSL 9

Pacer Naseem Shah’s younger brother and emerging fast bowler Ubaid Shah has set his eyes on the prize scalp of Babar Azam in the upcoming Pakistan Super League’s (PSL) 9.

Shah brothers — Naseem Shah, Hunain Shah, and Ubaid — are all part of the Islamabad United.

Ubaid said that he is excited about the prospect of bowling with Naseem, who is also his favourite bowler.

“I enjoyed bowling with Naseem today where he told me about bowling in T20 as per the conditions,” Ubaid Shah said during media interaction.

“It has benefited me and I will try to perform well for United as much as possible,” he added.

“The batting quality in PSL is great and I will strive to dismiss top batters, including Babar Azam,” he said.

Ubaid praised Islamabad United head coach Mike Hesson and captain Shadab Khan.

“The team environment is such that no one is taking any pressure. There is no pressure on me as coaches and Naseem have given me a lot of confidence,” he maintained.

Meanwhile, Ubaid revealed that all three brothers are aiming to represent the country together.

“We [brothers] contribute to the bowling and the desire is that all three brothers represent the country. I am working hard and am ready for any opportunity to play for Pakistan in any format,” he added.
