Pakistan skipper Misbah-ul-Haq has said that he is very impressed with the performance of the youngsters, especially with Yasir Shah who picked up nine wickets and played a crucial role in Pakistan's victory against Sri Lanka in Galle.

Misbah said this was the future they were building with these youngsters and these players were coming of age now to take the team ahead.

The Pakistani skipper said that it was just the start for Yasir, adding that he was very much impressed with the way he stepped up and became Pakistan's main bowler contributed in victory, the Dawn reported.

He insisted that Yasir was giving them a good advantage, especially on these pitches where other spinners are not getting any sort of spin.

 

However, he opined that Shah might be performing well in Asian conditions but there were a lot more tests ahead of him when he would be abroad, like in England and Australia.

He believed that seven wickets against an opponent who were good against spin was something special but he still has to improve a lot.
