“It’s a very big achievement because I’m a fast bowler, I know how hard it is. He’s a legend, we learn a lot of things from him. When we meet, we discuss this. He’s still playing at 40, he’s still fit, so you can imagine how much hard work he’s putting in,”

The reporter asked the next question to Naseem about his opinion on the ‘pace vs skills’ debate, insisting on what he thinks of Anderson who might not be as quick as him but has other skills. Naseem Shah cut the question short with a hilarious remark about his English language comprehension which causes laughter across the room. He said,
“Brother, I have just 30 percent English. My English is finished now, okay?”
Further praising Anderson, Naseem said that a massive amount of experience has helped Anderson in understanding the game better.
“I told you, he’s the legend. He knows everything. He knows how to take wickets because he has played cricket everywhere in the world. That’s why he’s one of the best bowlers in the world,”
