ISLAMABAD: Former Australian spinner Brad Hogg believes fast bowler Mohammad Abbas would be the leading wicket-taker on Pakistan’s upcoming tour of England which is scheduled for August.
Hogg, the slow left-arm chinaman bowler, in a tweet on Tuesday made a bold prediction claiming that right-armer Abbas would be the leading wicket-taker on the said tour during which Azhar Ali-captained Pakistan will play three Tests against England.
The 49-year-old made this prediction while responding to a tweet about a possible playing XI for Pakistan against England on their home turf.
“Abbas leading wicket-taker for the tour. #Cricket #PCB #Abbas,” Hogg tweeted as quoted by cricketpakistan.com.pk.
Abbas now heads a relatively green yet talented bowling line-up that is tasked to take on the world.
