Usman Tariq Is Our Trump Card; Babar Is Not A Concern For Us: Pakistan Skipper Salman Agha

By IANS News February 14, 2026 • 16:00 PM View: 204

Salman Ali Agha: Pakistan captain Salman Ali Agha reflected on the chatter surrounding Usman Tariq and his bowling action, calling the spinner the team's "trump card" for the high-stakes T20 World Cup clash with India on Sunday at the R Premadasa Stadium.

Tariq's unique bowling has faced questions over its legality, particularly for a pause in his delivery stride, holding his landing foot in the air before releasing the ball with exaggerated delay.

Speaking ahead of the marquee clash, Agha hit back at all the scrutiny over the spinner's action, saying his bowling has already been cleared by the ICC twice, so why is there a lot of chatter about it?
