KABUL has produced in short cricketing history, says the game is his language.

In an interview aired by an Indian TV channel, the teenager also named the renowned spinners he had grown up watching.

“Cricket is my language. I bank on my cricketing knowledge. I understand what I’m told. Language doesn’t matter. I understand cricketing stuff,” the rising star said.

In response to the query how he communicated with new international cricketers, Mujeeb remarked cricket was his language of communication.

He told sports360.com he watched Ajantha Mendis, Sunil Narine and Ravichandran Ashwin bowling a variety of deliveries.
