KARACHI, July 26 (Geo Tv): Left-handed batter Saud Shakeel scored another fifty on Wednesday, becoming the first-ever batter in the history of Test cricket to score a half-century in each of the first seven matches to start the career.
The stylish batter achieved the feat in the second Sri Lanka Test played at Sinhalese Sports Club Ground, Colombo.
