Pakistan's team has begun preparation for the upcoming two-Test series against Bangladesh at home. This meant the likes of Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman took guard against some of the best young pacers of the Pakistan team.

However, both the ace batters found it tough against Ubaid Shah, the younger brother of Pakistani pacer Naseem Shah. Ubaid Shah also bowls right-arm fast and plays in the PSL in Islamabad United with his brothers Naseem and Hunain.

Ubaid Shah also represented Pakistan in U19 cricket and was named in the ICC team of the tournament after picking up 18 wickets at an average of less than 14 runs per wicket as Pakistan reached the semi-finals of the 2024 Under-19 Cricket World Cup in South Africa.

Meanwhile, in the viral clip on social media, Ubaid Shah is seen bowling to former Pakistan Test captain Babar Azam and opener Fakhar Zaman in the nets. Both the batters face difficulty handling the pace and bounce generated by Ubaid Shah.

While Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman are both seen leaving the balls outside off-stump, a couple of deliveries move into Babar Azam after pitching. On the other hand, Fakhar lets the ball go to the keeper.

Babar Azam then tries to pull a short ball but misses and gets hit on the body, and is seen struggling afterwards.
