Usama Mir has often come under criticism for pitching deliveries in the wrong line and length along with full tosses. The leg spinner has taken four wickets from as many games at an average of 62.00 and an economy of 7.08.<\/p>\n

Abdul Razzaq, on a private channel\u2019s show, said Usama Mir is not bowling in the right areas as he is not confident.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was brought into the team as a spinner but hasn\u2019t been able to deliver like he should have,\u201d he said. \u201cIt may not be his fault because the pitches are not suiting him. He should have been more lethal as he is a tall bowler with a high arm action.<\/p>\n

\u201cEither he is not confident or is playing under pressure.\u201d<\/p>\n

All-rounder Imad Wasim claimed he has played with Usama Mir in the past but never saw him bowling this slowly.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe he\u2019s following some instructions but his strength lies in bowling quicker ones,\u201d Imad Wasim added.<\/p>\n

Pacer Mohammad Amir said Usama Mir has been a T20 player and was playing the shortest version of the game before getting selected for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, adding that the leg spinner is accustomed to bowl four overs.<\/p>\n
