Pakistan spinner Usman Tariq: 'I enjoy bowling in tough situations. Easy overs don't challenge you – pressure situations build your reputation' Image taken by: Bimal Mirwani Pakistan spinner Usman Tariq has said he enjoys bowling in difficult situations, believing that pressure moments are what build a bowler's reputation. Tariq, who has established himself as one of the most consistent wicket-takers in T20 cricket recently, said he does not enjoy bowling easy overs because they offer no challenge. The 28-year-old was recently in action in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL), where he took 10 wickets in nine matches for the Trinbago Knight Riders at an average of 21.30 and an economy rate of 6.26.
