Salman Agha Defends 'Trump Card' Usman Tariq for T20 Clash Against India

Skipper Salman Ali Agha stands by Usman Tariq's pause-and-sling action, viewing him as Pakistan's key player against India at the T20 World Cup. Tariq's recent performances, including a strong display against the USA, mark him as a potential threat on the slower Premadasa pitch.

Skipper Salman Ali Agha has thrown his support behind Usman Tariq, describing the off-spinner as Pakistan's 'trump card' for the upcoming T20 World Cup match against India.

Tariq, known for his unorthodox pause-and-sling action, impressed with a three-wicket haul against the USA, and Agha believes he's crucial on the slower Premadasa pitch.

Acknowledging concerns over Tariq's action, Agha insists the bowler is unfazed, having undergone necessary clearances, and highlights other key players like Shaheen Shah Afridi as vital to Pakistan's strategy.
