Wicketkeeper-batsman Azam Khan almost hit former Pakistan batsman Mohammad Yousuf with a fierce shot during a recent training session. 

The incident took place when former Pakistan spinner Abdur Rahman was just rolling his arms with Azam Khan facing him. It was a loopy delivery and Azam Khan went hard against it. He hit the ball straight where Mohammad Yousuf and another individual were standing just behind the stump.

No one was expecting Azam Khan to play such an aggressive shot against Rahman's delivery and were taken aback by it. Yousuf and the other individual did well to duck quickly and avoid getting hit by the ball. Abdul Rahman was also shocked by the shot and was seen scolding Azam Khan for it.

Watch the shot from Azam Khan:

 

The Pakistan team is currently preparing for the upcoming series against Ireland and England. They are scheduled to visit Ireland and England for three and four T20Is respectively. Azam Khan missed the entire five-match T20I series against New Zealand last month due to a leg injury but has returned to the team for the upcoming assignments.

Fast-bowler Haris Rauf has also returned to the Pakistan team after recovering from a shoulder injury suffered during the PSL.  The three-match series between Pakistan and Ireland will take place from May 10 to 14 while the series against England will be taking place from May 22 to 30.

After both series, Pakistan will be leaving for the T20 World Cup in the Caribbeans and the United States of America. They are yet to announce the 15-member squad for the marquee event and are expected to do it soon.

Pakistan squad:

Babar Azam (captain), Abrar Ahmed, Azam Khan, Fakhar Zaman, Haris Rauf, Hasan Ali, Iftikhar Ahmed, Imad Wasim, Mohammad Abbas Afridi, Mohammad Amir, Mohammad Rizwan, Muhammad Irfan Khan, Naseem Shah, Saim Ayub, Salman Ali Agha, Shadab Khan, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Usman Khan.
