Pakistan all-rounder Salman Ali Agha expressed on Wednesday his readiness to bowl in the forthcoming second Test against South Africa slated to happen from January 3.
Speaking to media in Cape Town ahead of the second Test match, Agha, who had shown his all-round prowess in the ODI series against the Proteas, said, "I haven't bowled in the last three Test matches. But in the forthcoming Test match, I will get the role of bowling."
He hailed the South Africa national cricket team as the "great unit," saying, "The South Africa powered to the World Test Championship final by showing brilliance."
Agha lavished his praise on Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Abbas, who marked his return after three years of "ignorance" in the Test side with excellent bowling prowess.

"Mohammad Abbas is a great bowler who brought us near to victory in the last Test," said Agha.
He stated, "We had a good outing in Johannesburg. We will be looking forward to beating the home side in the last Test."
Speaking about the playing XI, Agha said, "We haven't finalised the playing XI for the Cape Town Test. However, nobody in the Pakistan team is facing any injury woes."
He expressed optimism about dismantling the Proteas in the Test match as well after trouncing the hosts 3-0 in the historic ODI series.
