Pakistan cricket team's young fast bowler Naseem Shah will not return to Pakistan despite his mother's death and will remain with the team in Australia.

Naseem Shah's mother passed away on Monday night. It is said that Naseem Shah has decided to stay in Australia through mutual consultation with his family in Pakistan.

AI teams from Pakistan and Australia wore black ribbons in the match and expressed solidarity with Naseem Shah. The 16-year-old pacer is part of Pakistan A's playing XI against Australia A, but he did not bat in Pakistan's first innings in which Pakistan scored 428 runs.

Naseem Shah did not even take part in the fielding by Pakistan after Australia started batting.

It should be noted that the first match of the two-Test series between Pakistan and Australia will begin in Brisbane from November 21. If Naseem Shah was given the chance to play in the Test series, he would be the youngest player to play Test cricket in Australia by Pakistan.

He will be the ninth youngest and first 16-year-old cricketer in Test cricket to play Test matches on Australian soil.

Before Naseem Shah, Pakistan's Mohammad Amir played a Test match in Australia in 2010-2009 at the age of 18 years.

Naseem Shah has played only six first-class matches for Lahore since the launch of his debut.

Misbah-ul-Haq, coach of the Pakistan Cricket Team, says "Australian conditions are very good for fast bowlers."

"We want to feed Naseem Shah to the Australian conditions where he will be able to help with the pace and bounce."

According to Misbah-ul-Haq, "Naseem Shah can bowl very well with new and old hair, he is already doing so in first class cricket."

Naseem Shah belongs to the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa area and was born on February 15, 2003. He has been made part of Pakistan's Test squad against Australia for their outstanding performance in domestic cricket.

In domestic cricket, he plays from the Agricultural Development Bank, Quetta Gladiator and Central Punjab. He started his first-class career on September 1, 2018 at the Cairo Trophy by the Agricultural Development Bank.

He launched his T20DB on October 13, 2019, playing for Central Punjab.
