Talking to media through a video link today, Shah expressed hoped to give better performance in the upcoming tour. He said, “My performance was impacted by my injury. I have worked really hard to come back. My confidence is back and I am contented with my bowling”.

The leg-spinner said he is happy to see the appointment of Mushtaq Ahmed as the spin-bowling coach, as he vowed to prove himself a good cricketer. “I am concentrating on my batting as well and will try to score a hundred in England.

Yasir recently hit the triple figures in Test cricket against Australia at the Adelaide Oval smashing 113 in the first innings of the second Test.
