LAHORE: Multan Sultans' pacer Mohammad Ali revealed that playing red-ball cricket has helped him a lot and this is the reason behind his success in the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL) season nine.
While talking to the media in Lahore, the highest wicket-taker of PSL 9 stressed that it is not difficult to come from red-ball to white-ball cricket
"Fast bowlers like Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis have been successful bowlers of red ball as well as white ball. I think red ball cricket covers all formats," Ali said who has 147 First-Class wickets to his name.
"Because of red ball, I am also swinging the ball in the shorter formats. Playing longer formats helps in bringing continuity in the game," he added.
Ali said that he has no competition with anyone as his role is to contribute for the team.
"I don't compete with anyone, I just play according to the plan. I try to follow the plan given to me by the team.
"The competition among fast bowlers is fierce which makes the thing interesting," he added.
It must be noted that Multan Sultans are top of the points table with four wins in five games.
