Former fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar has said that Pakistan’s current fast bowling attack reminded of the golden era of Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis and Pakistan team is the favorite team for Asia Cup and World Cup.
Speaking to their YouTube channel and Indian media on Thursday, Rawalpindi Express said that Shaheen Shah Afridi, Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf are among the best fast bowlers in the world and we are proud of them. I took 23 wickets.
Shoaib Akhtar said that all three young fast bowlers are very talented and confident and have the ability to take wickets, I am happy that Pakistan is able to produce such fast bowlers once more and once more.
He said that Shaheen, Naseem and Haris have reminded me of the old days when the Two Ws (Wasim and Waqar) ruled the world of cricket.
The former bowler known as Rawalpindi Express said that Shaheen Shah Afridi is currently at the peak of his career, Haris Rauf is also thinking of taking wickets like Shaheen.
He said that I would only advise Naseem Shah to bowl more wicket-taking balls instead of becoming a stock bowler, he swings the ball more than Shaheen.
He said that Pakistan team is favorite to win Asia Cup and World Cup and the team led by Babar Azam will defeat India in both the tournaments.
Talking to Star Sports, Shoaib Akhtar said that these young players are very talented, I am happy that Pakistan is producing such talented bowlers once more and once more.
However, he said that there is a spinner less in the Pakistani team, Shadab is a very good bowler and leg spin is a difficult art, we lack a spinner or a bowling all-rounder, if this problem is solved then Pakistan can play the World Cup. So it will land as a favorite in India.
The former fast bowler said that Pakistan’s batting line-up looks stable, there is confidence in the team and it looks like a strong team overall.
He said that the Pakistan team is looking stronger than India in the World Cup, the Indian team has not been selected so far and I still do not understand that India has selected Yazvinder Chahal and Arsdeep Singh in the World Cup squad. why not
He said that even the batting line of the Indian team might not be finalised, it is not yet known whether Lokesh Rahul will play the World Cup or not, there is a question mark on his fitness and at which number he will play following being fit. is also not clear.
He advised Babar Azam to adopt an aggressive style as captain and said that in the match once morest India, the Pakistani team should have dismissed the opponent early, instead of bowling more overs than the spinners, they should have used fast bowlers on one side. But compared to two years ago, Babar Azam is a much better captain now.
