Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Yasir made his First-Class debut at the age of 15, but a chance to represent the national team came nine years later, when Pakistan faced Zimbabwe in a three-match ODI series in 2011. He picked up two wickets in the match. Yasir has also represented Pakistan 'A' and a host of other domestic sides.
The suspension of Ajmal due to suspect bowling action meant that Yasir got a chance to showcase his skills. The leg-spinner was drafted into the side for the Test series against Australia and New Zealand in October 2014, and he made his debut in Dubai, picking seven wickets in the game. He played the perfect foil to the experienced Zulfiqar Babar, sometimes even doing better than the seasoned campaigner. In the five Tests that he played in the season, Yasir picked up 27 wickets, including his maiden five-wicket haul versus New Zealand.
Even though he had not played ODI cricket for a while, the selectors showed immense faith in him and named him in the 2015 World Cup squad. The tournament, though, wasn't quite a game-changer for Yasir, who played just the one game against India at Adelaide and conceded 60 runs in eight odd overs.
Since then, Yasir has become more of a mainstay of Pakistan's bowling line-up in Tests, with the selectors keen on a different breed of bowlers for the limited-overs internationals. He wasn't even part of the squad for ICC Champions Trophy, 2017 - a tournament that Pakistan defied the odds to win. In September 2017, in the first Test against tourists Sri Lanka, Yasir became the joint second-fastest bowler to 150 Test wickets. He got to the landmark in 27 Tests.
Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Yasir Shah made his first-class debut in February 2002 but had to wait nine years to play international cricket. An ODI and two T20s later, he was back out of the reckoning, seemingly forgotten forever. The recall, when it arrived, came at a time of crisis for Pakistan, when Saeed Ajmal was banned for chucking in September 2014.
Yasir didn't just grab the opportunity; he made everyone forget they were supposed to miss Ajmal, spinning his way to 12 wickets in his debut series at an average of just over 17, as Pakistan whitewashed Australia 2-0. Bounding in with the energy of his spiritual forbears Abdul Qadir and Mushtaq Ahmed, but with the legbreak rather than the googly as his go-to weapon, Yasir quickly won a horde of admirers including Shane Warne, who praised his "energy and shape on the ball, also his over spinner and patience", and proclaimed he would finish with more than 200 Test wickets.
Just over seven months later, Yasir was one-quarter of his way to fulfilling Warne's prediction. He became the quickest Pakistan bowler to 50 Test wickets, getting there in nine matches, while inspiring his side to a 2-1 series win in Sri Lanka with 24 wickets at 19.33.
