West Indies vs. Pakistan first ODI: Five players to watch out for

Md. Irfan

3. Md. Irfan

Pakistan boast of a well-rounded bowling attack with competent fast bowlers who have the asset of speed and the art of swing in their repertoire and two quality off-spinners.

West Indies will have to respond with runs to the challenge posed by this bowling department in order to have any chance of winning the series. A significant part of that said challenge will be posed by a 7ft 1 inch tall fast bowler by the name of Md. Irfan, who has made a late but successful entry at the international stage.

The high-release point matched with breathtaking pace and accuracy makes him a lethal bowler. In the 14 one-day matches that he has appeared in, he has taken 20 wickets at an economy of just below 5.00 runs per over.

He took three wickets in the practice game against Guyana and hence will be high on confidence.
