Mohammad Zahid concerned about Pakistan?s fast bowling resources ? Cricket News Update
Pakistan?s former fast bowler, Mohammad Zahid, believes that the national team is struggling in the fast bowling department and said that Mohammad Akram, the bowling coach, has a massive job in his hands.
Historically, the Green Shirts have produced a number of great fast bowlers over the last six decades. The likes of Fazal Mahmood, Khan Mohammad, Imran Khan, Sarfraz Nawaz, Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis and Shoaib Akhtar ruled the cricketing world in their respective eras, posing a threat for even the best in the business.
In the previous decade, two of the world?s finest young fast bowlers, Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Asif, emerged through the ranks of domestic cricket. However, quite unfortunately, Pakistan lost both of them due to their involvement in the spot-fixing controversy in 2010.
Since then, Pakistan?s fast bowling resources have looked extremely thin. Umar Gul, Wahab Riaz, Aizaz Cheema and Mohammad Sami have been good on occasions but they have been generally inconsistent. At the present moment, Junaid Khan looks to be the only ray of hope for the Pakistan fans.
In his article for Pakpassion, Zahid urged Pakistan?s bowling coach to work overtime, in order to make sure that the Green Shirts have a strong pace-battery.
?Pakistan?s new bowling coach Mohammad Akram has a huge task ahead of him, a very important task also. He needs to have some clear objectives and I certainly hope that his remit is not where he is just working with the international bowlers,? the former fast bowler stated.
Zahid himself was one of the country?s most brilliant fast bowling talents but he failed to prolong his career because of fitness issues.
The former right-arm speedster wants Akram to concentrate at the grass-root level to scout for genuine pacers and help them develop their skills. In his opinion, the bowling coach?s job is not to work with the national team only.
Zahid added, ?I hope he gets his ?hands dirty? and works with bowlers in domestic cricket, bowlers at Under 19 level and even younger. Akram has a lot of experience of playing cricket around the world and has been coached by some very good coaches.?
