‘Great to see youngsters coming from our system and performing well’ Hafeez priases Haider
Manchester: Veteran all-rounder Mohammad Hafeez praised emerging debutant Haider Ali’s composure in his first international innings where he scored 54 off 33 balls, which included five fours and two sixes.
The 39-year-old Hafeez was named player of the match for his not-out 86 in Pakistan’s 190-4. Pakistan won by five runs at Old Trafford, Manchester.
“He (Haider) was good under pressure and just expressed himself,” said player of the series Hafeez in a post-match interview with Sky Sports.

Haider came to bat when Green Shirts were 2-1 but he batted with maturity and shared a stand of exactly 100 with Hafeez, who made his debut for Pakistan when Haider was not even born.
It must be noted that Pakistan leveled the T20I series 1-1. Earlier they lost the three-match Test series 1-0. They will return from England today.
