Playing style
Moqim is a left‑arm wrist spinner, a rare bowling style in modern cricket, making him the first of any note for Pakistan. His bowling style has been noted for its unusual release angle, being distinct from his contemporaries and fellow left-arm wrist spinners, Tabraiz Shamsi (South Africa), Kuldeep Yadav (India), and Noor Ahmad (Afghanistan): Shamsi and Yadav use more classical wrist-spin actions, with a languid delivery and release between 11 and 12 o'clock, imparting more air and spin. Ahmad, by contrast, releases from beyond 12 o'clock, creating an awkward angle but sometimes offering batters a clearer line of attack. Moqim's action lies between these extremes, the closest to 12 o'clock among the four. This near-vertical release gives his deliveries a steeper, downward trajectory, making lofted shots and sweeps harder to execute. Unlike traditional wrist-spinners, he does not rely on flight, aligning with modern T20 trends where flatter, harder-to-hit deliveries are prized.
