Former captain and legend Wasi Akram has shared his concern about the young fast bowlers in the Pakistan team. Akram expressed concern over the trend of pacers playing more Twenty20 franchise cricket than domestic red ball cricket.
He told Cricket Pakistan that focusing on T20 cricket led to the pacers’ dismal performance in the recent Pakistan Test series. Akram said it would be easy for pacers to ignore longer formats if they knew they would get “more money by bowling just four overs”.
Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf and Wasim Jr should play first class cricket. Apart from Pakistan Super League (PSL), they should play 1-2 leagues in a year including long format matches. pay attention; “If we had time, we would have played 4 day games.” – Wasim Akram said.
Pakistan have not won a single match in their last eight Test matches at home. They were whitewashed by Ben Stokes-led England in December.
The former captain also spoke about the reluctance of foreign coaches to come to Pakistan. “Many fear that the coach’s contract will expire when there are changes in the Pakistan board. Foreign coaches will not come to Pakistan. In such circumstances, a Pakistani coach should be appointed,” Akram added.
