New Delhi (EMS). Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar has said that the current fast bowling attack which includes Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf and Naseem Shah reminds him of the old days. Speaking at a press conference, Akhtar discussed Pakistan’s pace battery of Shaheen Shah Afridi, Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf and described Shaheen as the best bowler in the world. Shoaib said that obviously, these youth are very talented. I am very happy that Pakistan is able to produce such fast bowlers again and again. I don’t know what is the reason. Firstly, there used to be a lot of fast bowlers from Punjab. Now there is one from Rawalpindi and two are Pathans. He said that Pathans are very, very strong and tough. So, this Pace battery reminds me of the old days. Shoaib said that I would consider Shaheen Shah Afridi as one of the best fast bowlers in the world at the moment. He is at the peak of his career right now.
At the same time, Haris Rauf’s mentality is to take wickets again. If we talk about Naseem Shah, I had sent him a message earlier asking him to bowl wicket-taking balls. He is doing this. He seams the ball more than Shaheen. That can be effective. Akhtar said that Pakistan is dangerous with the new ball at the moment and this pace battery is reminiscent of the old days of Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis. Akhtar said- You know how dangerous Pakistan is with the new ball. Time and again he has proved that we can get people out very easily. It reminds me of the era of the two W’s. His mentality is very entertaining since he is playing as a pace battery. He is thinking about taking wickets, he is not worried about runs.
