County Championship 2022: Haris Rauf cleans Tom Lace with peach of a delivery on Yorkshire debut

Pakistan speedster Haris Rauf started his campaign for Yorkshire with a bang and he bowled a beauty to dismiss Tom Lace by trapping him in front of the wickets. Rauf has been known for clocking speeds above 145 Kmph consistently and is an integral part of Pakistan’s bowling set-up at the moment in the white-ball format. He has the ability to bowl outswingers as well which becomes a lot more threatening at a good pace.

In the ongoing game between Gloucestershire and Yorkshire, Rauf was going through a good spell in the middle at the Bristol ground and he bowled a shearing yorker with a lot of pace that shaped enough to hit the pads of Lace. The umpire had no doubts and straightaway raised the finger after an appeal from the Yorkshire side. The previous delivery before Lace’s dismissal saw the back of Ryan Higgins and Rauf backed it up with a sizzling yorker first up to Lace. Rauf finished with 3 for 81 in his 16-over spell and it was an impressive debut for the 28-year-old despite conceding a lot of runs.
