Steve Rhodes happy to have signed the Pakistani all-rounder Sohail Tanvir – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sohail-Tanvir-c90665 for the Friends Life T20 tournament in the on-going county season and expressed that he could not have found a better replacement
for Saeed Ajmal.
Pakistan’s premier off-spinner was contracted by the county for the current season but Ajmal decided against playing county cricket before the season because of his international commitments. Ajmal also wanted to spend more time with his family as he has
spent a lot of time away from home since the last couple of years.
Rhodes feels that Sohail is a brilliant cricketer in the shortest format of the game because of his ability to bowl well with the new ball as well as the old one. The left-arm medium fast bowler has a wrong-footed action, which can prove to be a mystery
for the batsmen who have not faced him in past.
On top of that, Sohail is more than handy with the bat, which he has proved over the years in the domestic cricket of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755. The all-rounder from Rawalpindi has been recently recalled to the national T20 squad, which will take on Sri Lanka next month.
"http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sohail-c90628 is an ideal replacement for Saeed Ajmal because Saeed was a tremendous bowler at the death and this is the type of role we want Sohail to play. Added to his bowling skills, he also has the ability to hit the ball hard which is an obvious asset at
the end of our innings," Rhodes expressed.
Tanvir led his team Rawalpindi Rams to the title victory in last year’s Faysal Bank Super-Eight T20 Tournament 2010-11. Speaking about the opportunity to play county cricket, the left-arm swing bowler expressed that Worcestershire has a very good reputation
and he is looking forward to represent the county, once he is done with the international assignment in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758.
Sohail said while talking about his county prospets, "I know a lot about the club having spoken at length to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Saeed-Ajmal-c87859, who played at Worcestershire last year, and spoke very highly of the club and set up.”
