Australia batsman Steve Smith had revolutionised the art of leaving balls outside the off stump during the second Ashes against England at Lord’s last year.
In order to frustrate the English bowlers, Smith shuffled, got behind the line of the ball, got his bat across and even turned around to face the wicketkeeper after leaving the ball. And now it seems to have become a trend.
During the COVID-19 lockdown period, Pakistan pacer Naseem Shah surprised fans with his imitation of Steve Smith's leave.
In a video surfaced on Twitter, Naseem can be seen playing indoor cricket and leaving deliveries in the exact similar manner as Smith had done at the Home of Cricket.
Just like every other professional cricketer, Naseem Shah is currently spending time at home in the wake of the Coronavirus pandemic, which has brought the entire world to a practical standstill.
He represented Quetta Gladiators in the fifth edition of Pakistan Super League (PSL) before the T20 tournament got indefinitely postponed on the day of semi-finals due to COVID-19 crisis.
