Waqar Younis Left Really Worried Over Lack Of Pace In Pakistan’s Fast-bowling Line-up
Shaheen Shah Afridi: Legendary Pakistan fast-bowler Waqar Younis has expressed that he’s really worried over the lack of pace in the current line-up on the Test tour of Australia, something which used to be an exciting prospect of pacers coming from the country.
In their 360-run defeat in the Test series opener, Pakistan’s fast-bowling quartet of - Shaheen Shah Afridi, Khurram Shahzad, Aamer Jamal and Faheem Ashraf rarely went past 140kmph mark. With Shahzad out due to injury, Hasan Ali, Mohammad Wasim Jr and Mir Hamza are the other options, who don’t inspire much confidence about breaching the 140kmph mark.
"Another thing that I'm worried about is that always when we come to Australia, one thing that excites is the fast bowling and this time around I'm not seeing that. I'm seeing medium-pacers or slow-medium-pacers, allrounders, there's no real pace. People used to come and watch Pakistan pace bowlers really running in hard and bowling 150 clicks (kph), and that's what I'm not seeing there."
