Legendary spinner Saqlain Mushtaq, who is playing the role of Pakistan’s interim coach in the ongoing T20 World Cup, turned back the clock as he engaged in a fascinating duel with skipper Babar Azam at the nets.

In a video shared by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Twitter, Saqlain was seen bowling to Babar during the team's nets session ahead of their Super 12 clash against Afghanistan.

In the little clip, the 44-year-old Saqlain showed that he still has the magic as Babar found it difficult to execute his shots against the former off-spinner.

The members of the Pakistan team can also be heard praising the coach’s skills. By the end of the video, Babar seemed to have found his timing back and connected a couple of shots.

Here’s the contest:

Pakistan are having a great time in the ongoing T20 World Cup. The Babar Azam-led side has defeated India and New Zealand comprehensively in their first two games and is almost certain to qualify for the semi-final.
