'Saim is a player of Babar's category,' Shadab Khan
Shadab Khan, Pakistan's skipper for the Afghanistan T20I series, highly rated Saim Ayub and said he is excited to play alongside the youngster during upcoming matches.
In the PCB podcast, Shadab said players like Saim, Babar, and Abdullah Shafique always look special when they play.
"I think Saim is an exceptional talent. After a very long time, we have got a player like him who we can say is as stylish and good as Babar and Abdullah," lauded Shadab.
"The way he [Saim] plays, he is a player of Babar's category. Players like them are too good to watch even when they score runs against your team. They are too stylish batters," he added.
