Razaq says Shaheen Afridi far better bowler than India’s Bumrah

ISLAMABAD – January 30 (ONLINE) Former Pakistan all-rounder Abdul Razaq says he rates Shaheen Shah Afridi much higher than India’s Jasprit Bumrah.

“Shaheen is excellent. Bumrah doesn’t come near him,” Abdul Razaq said in an interview.
Both Shaheen and Bumrah have been highly rated by cricket pundits, as both have proved their worth during recent times.

When asked who was better among Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf, and Shaheen, Razzaq replied: “All three are good.”

“About Bumrah, I am not too sure at the moment. Of course, he will not be available for the first two Test matches. I am expecting…I am hoping, not expecting, that he plays the next (last) two Test matches (against Australia). We don’t want to take risks with him, as back injuries are always critical. We have a lot of cricket coming back after that,” Indian captain Rohit Sharma said recently.

“We are in constant touch with physios and doctors in NCA. We will monitor. The medical team will give him as much time as he wants,” he added.
