A leg-spinner is known to have a few tricks up his sleeve, but a bouncer is not something that you would think, would be a part of it. For 19-year old leg-spinner Qais Ahmad, a bouncer certainly seems to be a part of his armoury, for twice now, he has shown he can bowl a fast bouncer.

In the recently concluded Abu Dhabi T10 League, Qais Ahmad was seen bowling one to Andre Russell. Ahamd is now playing for Hobart Hurricanes in the Big Bash League (BBL) 2019/20, and he is ready ti unveil his tricks.

During the match between Hobart and Melbourne Renegades on Tuesday, Qais Ahmed bowled another bouncer which this time, not only surprised the batsman but also his wicket-keeper Ben McDermott.
