Wasim Akram questions Faheem Ashraf’s on and off show

Pakistan former captain and legendary fast bowler Wasim Akram has questioned the country’s cricket authorities over what they want to make out of bowling all rounder Faheem Ashraf, as the youngster struggles to cement his place in the regular Playing XI.

“What do we want to do with Faheem Ashraf, I believe he is a good all-rounder in the limited overs format. Being an impact player he got the ability to win us matches, however, the on and off playing cycle will not be good for him as well as for Pakistan,” said Akram while talking to local media.

Akram was of the view that Faheem got the talent to be picked for the upcoming World Cup squad. “I understand that the management is not fully confident on Faheem’s bowling abilities, but to get selected in the Playing XI, one needs to perform consistently just like Shadab Khan, but he got the talent,” said Akram.

Talking about fast bowler Hasan Ali, the Sultan of Swing said that the 24-year-old needs to work on his ability to swing the ball. “I think Hasan tries, he tries around the wicket, goes over the wicket, and utilize his skill and ability to the maximum. However, he needs to learn how to swing the ball, I think he is a pretty decent cricketer, is talented and fit but he needs to learn a bit of swing as well,” said Akram.
