Don’t be overzealous about it! Pakistan legend gives advice to Indian pacers

Former Pakistan all-rounder Wasim Akram has a crucial tip for the Indian pacers as they prepare for the ICC Test Championship final. Wasim Akram shared this crucial tip in the program conducted by ICC before the final.

The final match against Australia will be held at the Oval in England on June 7. Wasim Akram suggested that the pace line-up comprising of Mohammad Shami, Umesh Yadav and Mohammad Siraj is experienced but not to get too excited with the initial swing at the new ball.

Wasim Akram pointed out that everyone knows they can have a good swing till 10 or 15 overs, so they should not only try for wickets but also try not to concede runs and that would be the mistake Australia want from the Indian team. Wasim Akram said that the pitch at the Oval is favorable for the Asian teams, but since the match is being held in June, the nature of the pitch cannot be predicted.
