It's sufficient to send a shiver down any batsman's spine. Legspinner Yasir Shah on a delicious Gabba deck - with a pink ball - under lights. Be that as it may, Australian newcomer Peter Handscomb concedes he is anticipating testing himself against the Pakistan leggie in the day-night first Test beginning on Thursday in Brisbane.
"He's a world-class bowler," said Handscomb who touched base in Brisbane on Saturday with the Australian group in front of the primary Test. "By and by, I am anticipating getting out there and seeing what it resembles to face him. "I haven't seen a lot of him.
"Be that as it may, I would set out say he would have the capacity to utilize the skip at the Gabba and turn the ball also." Shah was compelled to miss Pakistan's sole warm-up match against a Cricket Australia XI in Cairns this week because of damage.

"Those folks have played pink-ball Shield amusements here so we will take a gander at them at getting a comprehension at what the wicket and ball may do," Handscomb said.
"Playing increasingly with the pink ball, you begin to get a comprehension of how it reacts.
"Be that as it may, it varies from place to put.
"I have played a large portion of mine down south, not at the Gabba under lights."
