Afghanistan has been shown the exit door but they would be extremely happy with brilliant bowling from Fazalhaq Farooqi (3/31) and Fareed Ahmad Malik (3/31) despite posting just 129/6 on the board.
Naseem Shah is a part of the formidable-looking Pakistani pace attack for the three-match series against England, all set to be played from Wednesday.
The 17-year-old stated that getting the wicket of Australian batsman Steve Smith would also make him happy.
Azhar also feels that they are quite capable of targeting England top-order which, according to him, is fragile ever since Alastair Cook hung up his cricketing boots in 2018.
Naseem Shah, however, admitted that he doesn't know the names of many English batsmen but is hopeful of having a memorable tour.
Naseem Shah dismissed Najmul Hossain, Taijul Islam and Mahmudullah off consecutive deliveries at the fag end of the third day's play.
Notably, there are several speculations revolving around Shah’s age since the time he was first named in the Pakistan national squad which toured Australia in November-December 2019.
The board said that it has taken a pragmatic approach and decided to withdraw Shah who has already made an impact in senior men's cricket.
Naseem on Monday became the youngest fast bowler to take five wickets in a Test innings. He achieved the feat playing against Sri Lanka in the Karachi Test, which the visitors lost by 263 runs.
Naseem Shah has become the second youngest cricketer to have achieved a five-wicket haul after Pakistan's Nasim-ul-Ghani.
