It will be one of the greatest moments to see Pakistani leg-spinner Yasir Shah in action in the national cricket team once again after nearly a year’s gap when they tour Sri Lanka for a two-match Test series next month. Yasir Shah has a key role in Pakistan's victory as Yasir boasts an exceptional record in Sri Lanka and bagged 24 wickets when Pakistan last played them in 2015, helping his team to a 2-1 series win.

            He took 235 test wickets by playing 85 test innings. After Saeed Ajmal’s banned for chucking in September 2014, Yasir Shah grab the opportunity; he made everyone forget they were supposed to miss Ajmal, spinning his way to 12 wickets in his debut series at an average of just over 17, as Pakistan whitewashed Australia 2-0. Pakistan will start their tour of Sri Lanka with a three-day warm-up match from July 11 before taking on the home side in the first Test on July 16 in Galle. 

            At last, it is really great to see his action again as being a part of the national team of Pakistan, and hope he will be having the best role to contribute to Pakistan's victory.
