Multan Sultans pacer Shahnawaz Dahani on Saturday thanked the former owner of his PSL franchise, Ali Khan Tareen, for the support the latter gave him. 

"Thank you Ali bhai for your love and support," Dahani tweeted after Ali Tareen expressed his delight over the pacer's inclusion in the Pakistan Test squad.

Ali Tareen responded with three hearts to the Multan Sultans' rising star.

Dahani had earlier taken to Twitter to celebrate his maiden call-up.

"Selected in Test squad. Thank you so much mom for all your prayers . Thank you PCB for believing in me," the Multan Sultans pacer had said.

Chief Selector Mohammad Wasim had announced the squad on Friday, giving shape to Pakistan's upcoming tours to Zimbabwe and South Africa.
