5 reasons why Haseeb Hameed could be the next Geoffrey Boycott for England

#4 Ability to leave balls

Impeccable knowledge of the off stump

Knowledge of the off stump is one of the biggest traits an opening batsmen should have. Hameed has shown tremendous patience and has no qualms in leaving balls outside off and this then forces the bowler to come closer and then he can clip them off his hips with ease. A massive factor, more so when the ball is seaming around!

Also, when the pitches are turning this ability to soak up pressure is instrumental in succeeding!
