Pakistan pace sensation Naseem Shah says Test and ODI are the formats where a bowler is being tested than T20I's.

In recent interview in The Cricket Monthly, Naseem Shah picks Test Cricket over anything, claiming if any bowler bowls well in the format he'll be rewarded which often doesn’t happen in the T20I's.

"If I had to pick one, I'd go with one-day cricket. It is the format where I feel you have a nice mix of showing your skills within a singular contest. Sometimes you don't get that in T20 cricket. Because it's very short, sharp cricket. Batters play such a wide array of shots that it's nearly impossible to gauge what a good delivery is."

"Because I have a base in Test cricket, it makes me feel I can play all-format cricket. But T20 cricket is changing the world. You have to learn the skills that T20 cricket teaches you as well. It's just that a foundation in red-ball cricket can help you in T20. In Test cricket you have different types of wickets and different types of conditions as a fast bowler. Sometimes you bowl three or four spells in a day and each comes under different conditions and wickets.

"If you've done all that for five days and then come to ODI or T20 cricket, it feels like it comes easily to you. In one day you sometimes bowl 25 overs in a Test, and then when you come down to bowling ten or four overs, fitness-wise that comes quite easily to you."

Naseem Shah played 17 Test matches for Pakistan thus far and picked up 51 wickets at an average of 33.82 and also bagged 1 solitary five wicket-haul.
