"Saim Ayub is a quick learner. He was with us during the Test series. I discussed few things with him and he quickly picked it up and learned quickly and it's the quality of a good player," said Yousuf.

“Saim is quite new in the team and he has to make himself as a player that the selection committee should automatically consider him in the squad" he added.

The 20-year-old who represented Peshawar Zalmi in the Pakistan Super League eighth edition scored 341 runs in 12 matches with a healthy strike-rate of 165.53.
