Shaheen made sure to stay in touch with the bowlers. "The switch from white-ball cricket to red-ball cricket is difficult because the demands of the Test format are completely different from limited-overs. I got in touch with the boys over the phone. Naseem bowls very fast and his spirit Very sharp and knows what he needs to do. I used to talk to Haris Rauf every day. I was also in touch with other bowlers who were playing Test matches."
