Pakistan fast bowler Haris Rauf has delivered an impressive performance in the Big Bash League (BBL), strengthening his reputation as one of the most dangerous pacers in T20 cricket. Representing the Melbourne Stars, Rauf has picked up 18 wickets in 10 matches, consistently troubling batters with his pace and variations.
Despite his strong showing in the BBL, reports suggest that Haris Rauf’s place in Pakistan’s squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup is not guaranteed. His recent omission from Pakistan’s plans has sparked debate, especially considering his overseas success.
Earlier, Rauf faced criticism and disciplinary action related to workload management and bowling commitments, which reportedly affected his standing with the national selectors. However, his performances in Australia indicate that the pacer is regaining rhythm and confidence, which could work in his favour.
With the T20 World Cup approaching, all eyes will be on whether Pakistan’s selectors reward Rauf’s current form or stick with alternative bowling options.
