Legendary Pacer Wasim Akram has said there were `no serious concerns' about the pace bowling talent in Pakistan as raw talent just needs training and guidance. Talking to a private news channel, Wasim said that the available lot is very talented but they need to learn and practice the new rules that have been introduced in One-Day International cricket.
The legendary fast-bowler is currently supervising a 10-day long training camp set up for 18 pacemen, including members of the national team and some new talent at the National Stadium, Karachi, the camp was set up ahead of the Champions Trophy in June in England. After the South Africa tour which ended in March there is feeling prevailing around the country that Pakistan's pace-bowling resources are in decay but Wasim is not concerned about the future.
"The talent is definitely there but these youngsters need experience. It is not easy to find someone with 145 kph pace, scouting and hunting is needed for fast bowlers and I am sure there will be talent", he opined. The former left-arm paceman also urged the Pakistani bowlers to be aggressive in their approach, adding that the attitude of a fast-bowler was an important tool which is currently missing in the country's bowlers.
"I will advise these bowlers that to be successful in this scenario, aggression is a must with top grade fitness, pace and the ability to have length variation. I will tell them how to swing the ball, then reverse swing and how to make use of the yorkers", said Wasim. National bowling coach Muhammad Akram, who has organised the camp, was also reportedly pleased with players getting help from the legend. Prior to the Champions Trophy, Pakistan will tour Scotland and Ireland to play a two-match ODI series each.
