Lahore Qalandars Found New Malinga-Style Bowler in Trials [Video]

Lahore Qalandars, a well known franchise of Pakistan Super League (PSL) has found yet another Malinga-like fast bowler through Player Development Program (PDP). Fast bowler, Tayyab Abbas, impressed Lahore’s head coach, Aqib Javed, and Yorkshire Managing Director, Darren Gough, with his express pace and raw talent.

After Salman Irshad and Zaman Khan, Tayyab Abbas could be new product of Lahore Qalandars’ Player Development Program (PDP).

According to details, the coaches were impressed with Tayyab’s ability to bowl at an express pace as he touched 87mph during the recently held trials. The fast bowler has a slingy action and is dubbed as ‘Malinga-esque’ as it is similar to the legendary Sri-Lankan fast bowler.

Darren Gough was particularly impressed with Tayyab’s raw talent. In an interview after the conclusion of the trials, Gough stated that he was highly impressed with Tayyab’s ability to bowl fast without having proper equipment or any prior training.
