imagePakistan coach Waqar Younis has expressed that Mohammed Amir's performance against India as ‘outstanding’ and that he is an inspiration for young fast bowlers.

According to Zee News, “He (Amir) is definitely world class and is getting better and stronger with every match. Even Virat Kohli has acknowledged that he is world class. He is an inspiration for young fast bowlers. Today the length at which he especially bowled and swung the ball at that pace was simply outstanding," Waqar said.

Amir bowled his heart out and picked three quick wickets to go down the Indian batting upfront in the ongoing Asia Cup. Although Pakistan lost the match by five wickets, Amir's performance was the key.

The youngster was praised by Virat Kohli on Saturday after India's victory against Pakistan. And alongside Waqar, even Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni conceded that Amir's length was the key.

"It was a great spell by Amir. His advantage was he bowled full. In this Pakistan team Amir and Mohammed Sami are the two bowlers who bowl a fuller length while the other two (Mohammed Irfan and Wahab Riaz) don't bowl too full and also don't swing much. But with quota of only four overs, captain is also under so much pressure," Dhoni said.
