Pakistan all-rounder Mohammad Hafeez said he has always been able to trouble left-handed batsmen.

Citing the name of world finest batsman Brain Lara, Hafeez stated that the West Indian veteran batsman Brain Lara told him he felt troubled by his bowling onslaught.

“Left-handers have always had difficulty facing me. However, I have bowled well to right-handers as well. If you look at my economy rate, it’s the same against both. I dismissed one of my favourite batsmen Brian Lara as well,” said Mohammad Hafeez, who is a left-handed batsman though he bowls with right-hand spin.

“He [Lara] also admitted that he had difficulty batting against me. He was a world class batsman and there are very few batsmen who played spinners as well as Lara,” Hafeez told while he was speaking to Geo News program ‘Score’.

“In my career, my bowling has supported me a lot. If I was not able to perform with the bat in some match, I used to make up for it with my bowling. I would like to continue my success against left-handers, which is a God-gifted talent, till I am playing cricket,” he added.

Hafeez expressed that he wanted to retire from international cricket after playing the upcoming Twenty20 World Cup.

“I want to retire from international cricket after playing the next T20 World Cup,” the left-handed batsman said.
