Big Bash 2019: Afghanistan spinner Qais Ahmad's fast bouncer nearly takes down Shaun Marsh

In cricket, spinners are known to have tricks up their sleeves to outfox opposition batsmen. However, Afghanistan's 19-year old leg-spinner Qais Ahmad seems to have added a fast bouncer in his bowling armoury and has managed to surprise batsmen not once but twice recently with that delivery. The Hobart Hurricanes bowler bowled a delivery during a Big Bash League match which surprised wicket-keeper Ben McDermott and Melbourne Renegades batsman Shaun Marsh.

Trying to save himself, the West Indies all-rounder went down on the ground and was left shocked.
