Former Pakistan cricketer Salman Butt has backed Indian batter Suryakumar Yadav to do well in Test cricket considering his sensational form in the white-ball format.
“Suryakumar Yadav has a lot of experience playing domestic cricket. I think he knows the longer format very well. He should be aware that he will have to adapt to red-ball cricket. You need to change your shot selection a bit, focusing on playing to your strengths,” Butt said in a video posted on his YouTube channel.
“He is very high on confidence thanks to his tremendous form in white-ball cricket. That is going to help him when he plays Test matches. He has been playing first-class cricket for nearly a decade, which is quite good for a player of his ability,” he added.
He’s a very intelligent and quick thinker: Salman Butt
“When someone performs in such a top-class fashion in international cricket, it means that surely is very intelligent and a quick thinker. I don’t think it will be very tough for him,” Butt concluded.
