Pakistan Fast Bowling Future Will Be Bright Again: Waqar Younis

Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, Shoaib Akhtar, Umar Gul, Wahab Riaz, Mohammad Amir are some of the finest fast bowlers Pakistan have produced. They could wreak havoc with their bowling prowess. Pakistan bowling coach Waqar Younis believes that fast bowling has been trademark for the side and they will be back on top again.

Fast bowling is the trademark of Pakistan cricket,” said the 48-year-old Waqar, an outstanding fast bowler, in a Pakistan Cricket Board website column published on Thursday.

“There have been so many great ones over the years and I am confident that the future will be bright again,” added Waqar.

“We have seen already that Naseem Shah and Shaheen Shah Afridi are wonderful bowlers. Muhammad Musa, who was part of the squad in England, is another, and there are a couple in the under-19s also. Of course, Mohammad Abbas is very seasoned and experienced.”

Pakistan recently lost the Test series against England and salvaged a draw in the three-match T20I series.

The pace attack led by Shaheen and Naseem failed to deliver consistently in the series against England. But the the duo can grow into the game with their experience in the near future.
