Wasim Akram analyzes Haris's challenges in the WC
The former captain speaking on the show explained that relying solely on pace won't lead to taking wickets on these pitches.
Karachi: Cricket legend and former captain, Wasim Akram, has shed light on the complexities of securing wickets in the World Cup, emphasizing that pace alone may not be sufficient.
During a recent appearance on a private TV show, Wasim Akram emphasized that relying solely on pace in these conditions would not suffice, as top-tier batsmen are unlikely to yield wickets easily.
Instead, bowlers must apply pressure and employ a variety of tactics to make breakthroughs.
In discussing Haris Rauf's performance in the World Cup, the former captain acknowledged the young bowler's ability to take wickets.
However, he pointed out a recurring issue – inconsistency in Haris's bowling length, which leads to conceding too many runs.
Akram highlighted the example of Jasprit Bumrah, whose consistent length and line contributed to his success.
Wasim Akram also commented on Shaheen Shah Afridi's performance, acknowledging that while he may not be taking wickets in every match, other bowlers should step up to support the team while Shaheen delivers consistent performances for Pakistan.
Shaheen has faced challenges, including knee, finger, and elbow injuries, but has shown promise.
