Saleem's fearless bowling was one of the few positives for the Afghanistan National Cricket Team in the one-off Test that was won by India by an innings and 300 runs. However, Afghanistan faced massive backlash for humiliating loss. Well, the young pacer consistently bowled at speeds close to 140 km/h on the tough surface for fast bowlers in New Chandigarh.
Originally, Saleem was picked only for the one-off Test match, but his six-wicket haul forced the Afghanistan selectors and team management to give him the opportunity in the ODIs as well.
Richard Pybus hails Mohammad Saleem ahead of India ODIs
Now, Mohammad Saleem is expected to play a key role in the upcoming three-match ODI series against India, starting on June 13 in Dharamshala. After the Dharamsala opener, both teams will travel to Lucknow for the second ODI on June 17 before the third and final ODI in Chennai on June 20.
Richard Pybus stated, “He was just fantastic. If you come here and you take six wickets in extreme heat against high-quality batting, that goes very well, not just for him as a bowler, but for us as a side. I don't have any history with these guys before. So, in terms of their combinations, this is part of my learning curve. I do know that he has had some niggles in the past. So, yeah, it's just getting them on the park consistently and allowing them to back up these performances.”
