Shan Masood seems to be coming of age: Mudassar Nazar - cricket news

The Hindu  

Shan Masood broke into the Pakistan Test team, seven seasons ago. Thursday morning at the Old Trafford, however, turned out to be bright and sunny for Masood as he hammered 156 against England to become the sixth Pakistan batsman to score centuries in three consecutive innings - after Zaheer Abbas, Mudassar Nazar, Mohammad Yousuf, Younis Khan and Misbah-ul Haq. After quitting his job at the Pakistan National Cricket Academy a few months ago, Nazar has now moved to Manchester and stays ‘just a few kilometres’ away from the Old Trafford. “In his Test career, he was dropped and he went to the UAE a couple of years ago and that’s where he started changing,” Nazar said, adding that games against England A helped him fight back. They haven’t bowled as good as they did against the West Indies, but credit must be given to Pakistan batsmen, especially Masood,” he said, adding that batting freely has helped the batsman beat the odds.
